Weird .. 2-3 seconds crunching and done. [Link] It is starting on Nov 11th ... since then this happens. Unfortunately we cannot inform him/her that something went nuts.

The smallest and largest claimed credit of every WU is ignored, so it does not matter, but it's disturbing ...

I do not think that is going to be a problem, as in the end all his WUs are marked as invalid, see here:

It's just a pity the system does not recognize the faulty CPU and lets it still get WUs, thus slowing down the process for everybody else. If there were too many CPUs of that kind, that would slow down operations. But as far as I know there shall be a fix for that in the next BOINC software.
