Project- 2605 (Run 11, Clone 561, Gen 84)-CLIENT STALL(a1)

[314159]

C2D-Linux Client-Stock Clock-Single Instance-etc.

Note: While it might appear that I am posting an inordinate number of problem WUs, please be advised that I have 22 machines running the SMP client and that the failure/problem frequency is about 1 per 30 or 40 WUs. I do not consider this to be unreasonable.

My concern is that if I go out of town for a week or so, I may return to a situation that I would rather not have to address.

I WAS able to recover and send this WU at around 18:00 UTC.
(deleted slot two/ran qfix/used -send 2/acknowledged by work server)

I would appreciate a "lookup" in a few hours to confirm that all went well.
Thank you in advance!

I was going to suggest this trick

Thanks for your report.

Would you please be so kind as to do a lookup for me to see if this WU was properly received and credited.

No big rush.

Thanks in advance, my friend!

P.S. Unfortunately, I have had to use that "trick" on MANY occasions.

Of course. The WU went back home successfully :
