I've come across a Seti v7 Wu where every host has errored it with a -131 file size too big error, including my HD7770:
before reporting it, I've suspended network activity and downloaded it again, file size is only 438kb:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1433188895

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah/download_fanout/18b/12au13aa.3787.7705.438086664197.12.27

After the fact, I check BoincFaq:

Contents:

ERR_FILE_TOO_BIG -131

One of the output files is bigger than the maximum set by the project for upload.
BOINC will not try to upload this file.

Solution: Go to the project's forums and report this behavior.

We had a batch of those back in December: message 1452845. It's a rogue splitter problem, I think. We'd better see what tasks are affected.

Wasn't 12au13aa the tape that got stuck on Thursday night?

12au13aa was the one Jeff reported he removed the other day.

Well, we don't have to ask them to take it off again, then. One less email to write.

Let's hope 13au13aa doesn't go the same way, when we get to it.

Did you download the datapak? With the WU complete, it's been purged now.

If you have it, could you have a look to see if it has too many time coordinates in the header, like the December batch?

Edit - never mind, got one of Wiggo's instead. Also 438 KB, and 597 time coordinates. Ouch.

I've emailed the lab.
