I went digging through some of my results and way back in the list I started to notice some pending results and ran across one from AUGUST that was still pending but had three good results returned. It looks like something is not right here. The server says that is caught up with all the verification.

Here is the address of the work unit:
http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1159389

The thing is that the work unit is really old and has 3 successful returns but looks like all it is doing is taking up space on the system which is not a good thing. I am past the point of wanting credit for it but would just like to inform anyone that knows what’s going on that the system has some cracks and there is some slipping going on.

The dates of the returns shows that this was during a period of database failures, so it is most likely a lost unit.

Does anyone know of any plans of purging "dead" units from the system? It probably could use some dusting.

Maybe they should misplace the upload directory again. That would clean up things. ;) j/k
