I've seen a couple of invalid AP tasks lately.

These are caused by the app "AstroPulse v6 v6.06 (cal_ati)", which more or less consistently seems to be thrashing all work on all computers. Thus otherwise valid WUs wrongly end up as invalid with "too many errors (may have bug)".

That's not good, is it?

Take a look at invalids on my main cruncher for details.

I can only confirm your report. There must be done something.

There's another thread on this, they are aware of the problem and are working on it.

For now I have just disabled astropulse until the dust settles.

Eric has disabled the cal_ati apps that were causing the mass errors and the discarding of WUs.

There should be few, if any, WUs being trashed like that anymore at this time.

Don't feel too bad, nothing you could do about it.
As I stated earlier, the buggy app has been withdrawn.

Thanks for the info. I'll enable AP again when I get home tonight.

And the same can be done for Brook+ AP. Only one distributed as stock damaged. Lunatics installer includes intact binary and can be used.

Will the tasks that ran into the buggy app 6+ times and thus were labelled, "invalid, too many errors, may have bug", get resent now that the problem has been solved ?
