I got one weird workunit this morning that i expect would take the usual length of time,was shocked when i returned home from work to find it was complete.

Got a credit score of 2.46 and it`s completed as a success but credit pending. Wondered why it was such a small workunit and if anyone else has had this happen to them.

Cheers in advance for your answers :)

Hi Amiga,

You had what is called a 'noisy task', which ended with a -9 overflow error.
In the stderr.txt of the task you'll see:
SETI@Home Informational message -9 result_overflow
NOTE: The number of results detected exceeds the storage space allocated.

These are tasks that are filled with noise, too much to store all on the hard drive, so they break off early. You still get credit for them, albeit in minute amounts.
