The Good News and The Bad News ... !!!

The error message in the first post is extremely useful to us -- this is a *reproducable* bug in our analysis code, which only appears under Windows and not under Linux or Mac. Two people are currently (as I type) working on this.

So please don't give up on E@H. While you may be losing a few credits, you are helping us to track down and fix things in the science part of the code, which is extremely valuable to us.

Cheers,

Poor Boy,

Of course we sort out the bugs and problems of our Apps that happen all the time before putting them on the server for the larger public. So the bugs that remain to our test users are ones that occur only on certain types of machines or with certain data.

The scheduler we set up prefers to send work to you according to the files you already have to possibly avoid downloading new large data chunks. However this also means that the workunits you get are similar to the ones you already have crunched.

These two facts lead to the effect you are seing now: having stumbled over a data-driven bug you will likely get another Result that shows the same problem. The way to avoid this would be to reset the project, causing a new download of a (most likey) different data set.

However we are very glad that this problem showed up, it is reproducable and I myself and some other people around me too are working hard to solve it, so that the users (and of course our results) are not affected by it in the public case.

At least, that's what testing is for.

Thanks a lot for your cooperation!
