Seems there is no point in running this WU as it was completed on 4 Nov

I think that's one of those annoying times when someone doesn't finish their work on time, so a unit is sent out again. Only then the late guy returns the work and the guy who got it fair-and-square on the rebound crunches for nothing.

People who don't return their units on time should get 0 credit instead of the people that get the unit on the rebound.

Agreed! Been caught before so I check all WU with ...1 as the last digit.

I agree that duplicate processing would be pointless in this situation.

But to treat the credit system fairly:
In my experience (and with a consistent workload covering 6 days I have some...) you would have received your due credits crunching as #2 in the queue if #1 beats you although overstepping his time limit.

The problems appear when you receive a wu as #3 in the queue. With #1 being too slow and #2 having a computing error the negative results in total seem to block Rosetta from issuing credits for successful results from cruncher #3.

This programming issue should be fixed (in Boinc?) as soon as possible.
