Yesterday we discovered that when result files are lost, say due
to a restore from a backup (restores involve both the DB and the ULDL
directories) the validator ends up in a endless loop. The entire result
set for an affected workunit gets ignored and after a while the validator
ends up enumerating only affected workunits and is thus in a loop. We
turned off the validator when we discovered this. Today we have coded
a fix and are testing it in the alpha project. While the validator is off
credits are not given but they should show up once we turn the validator
back on.
