Hi, this question has probably been asked and answered, but here goes :)

I noticed I have a 'successful' workunit with a cpu time of 0.00 seconds. no credit was claimed but 0.15 credit was granted,(I think).

Was this a test unit, or do you occasionally get units like that?

thanks in advance :)

Some wu have so many signals in them, often due to noise, crunching them to the end would give very large result-file. So instead of crunching to the end, they're instead terminated, and marked as "-9 too many signals". Many of these "noisy" wu will terminate after some secounds/minutes, but for some reason it looks like 1st minute or something of a wu isn't correctly counted, so is reported as zero seconds instead. Since the validator doesn't care of the crunch-time of a result, but only on the signals reported, these wu is validated as normal, and credited after the normal rules of removing highest & lowest claimed and averaging the rest.
