I was given this task after the deadline was missed by one of the other computers. When that other computer completed the WU, I then completed it as well and my work was marked Invalid. I have looked and looked and I can not see where my results vary at all from the two Validated computers. I thought all three computers would normally get credit if this happened?

Yes, that is what typically happens in this case. All three hosts are awarded credit. I have seen this happen myself on my own hosts. You got screwed by CreditScrew it seems.

Actually, wouldn't that be the validator process instead of CS?

Yes, correct.
Maybe one or more unreported signals were over the threshold.

OK, you are correct. The validator was the entity that was guilty. Too used to lumping everything involved with credit awarded into the credit mechanism.
