    This was the result of a change I just made on the server.

    This should be fixed. Is it working now?

      Hi,

      I've been quite busy for some days so I didn't read your complaint before.
      Unfortunately, we have to clean up the server every now and then, so this
      particular result already has gone (from the database; the output file might
      still be there).
      Can you perhaps tell me some more details (e.g. the name of the result
      which would start with "ft" and a number and end with "_0" - the one that
      is mentioned in the upload lines) so I possibly could track this down?

      There may be several reasons for invalidating a result, file corruption during upload would be the simplest one, but an accumulation of rounding errors -
      which differ from platform to platform and have to be properly taken care of
      during validation - might also result in a result "too far off" from the
      majority of results. A "valid result" is defined by being "close enough" to
      what most contributors agree upon... and I'm not yet completely happy with the current validator algorithm, thus your feedback might be helpful. Any chance?

      Cheers.
      Steffen
