If you click on the Results ID for this, you'll see (among other things)
SETI@Home Informational message -9 result_overflow
NOTE: The number of results detected exceeds the storage space allocated.
That generally means it had too many "results", likely interference from terrestrial sources. When that happens, it aborts very quickly so you can go on to possibly more productive work. We all get them at times. 8-)

When a workunit is contaminated with terrestrial radio signals it doesn't make much sense to analyze its stellar contents. It's like trying to study the Moon through a frosty window. The developers have devised a method to get rid of these units quickly in order to not waste computer time.
