I was surprised today to find an invalid on my task page that was judged invalid Feb 28 but just showed up this morning. It is an instant invalid due to a truncated stderr.

The workunit is in limbo - the _2 replacement task has not been sent.

Have we lost data in the database? Or perhaps found some data?

Your wingmate reported 18 Mar 2014, 13:05:15 UTC - today. It probably needed that report before anything got checked - so when Eric kicked the validators this evening, out it popped.

Now the resend will be at the back of that 700K queue of over-split work.

Guess it only became invalid today when the wingman reported. Then it wasn't an instant invalid like the other truncated stderr's I've seen.

Thanks, Richard. Sorry for the false alarm.
