validate errors

(moderation:
Here is a quick summary of what happened in the past 8 hours:
An admin mistake (SQL command update result set outcome=6;validate_state=2 where id=84114386;) accidentally set all the results in the database into an outcome=validate error state (the first semicolon in the command should be a comma!).
I have corrected these as best as I could. There may be a few hundred results which are not quite in the correct state. Please bear with me while I correct these over the next few days.
I have modified the reporting deadlines for any results that were due in the past 8 hours or the next 4 hours, advancing these deadlines by 12 hours. So results will not be marked as late because of this project downtime.
Hopefully my database repairs will be effective and most Einstein@Home contributors should not notice any problems or unusual behavior with the project.
Cheers,

Yes, that was my mistake. This was one of 131 results that I should have left as 'outcome=validation errors' but in my haste I changed this to 'outcome=success'.
I have fixed these 131 results (including yours).
Thanks for pointing it out!

This appears to be a genuine error in the result.

Actually this looks like a bug in the 4.07 App, probably related to the "new checkpointing code", so the 4.09 might have it, too.

Thank you very much for the kind comments. We try hard not to make mistakes, but we're human!

Good idea -- I will pass this on to our admin!

Ouch!
The trouble is that with this bug there are very few workunits that can't be finished valid with the 4.07 App (probably the 4.09 Linux Beta had the same problem, which should be fixed in 4.12).

My intention is to manually grant credit for the validate errors that result from the bug in the 4.07 App (and only those). Please be patient with me while I find out how to do this without messing up the database. And keep reporting them!

I have begun to manually grant credit for validation errors from the 4.07 App that resulted from the "sorting bug" in 4.07. As a first step this applies to workunits with more than one validation error from 4.07, I still have 55 single results on my list that need further investigation.

I guess I got all of them that dropped in by now. I'll look for more of these results in a few days again.
