One of my Folders has been stuck on this WU since last Saturday. Bad WU? Bad Config? How do I get past it?

I forgot to mention I tried deleting the work folder, queue.dat, unitinfo.txt, the log & all the FahCore files. I got the same WU & same results.

Right now as a temporary workaround, I changed the machine ID to 2 & deleted the work folder, queue.dat, unitinfo.txt & the log so the server would give me a different WU.

Yes bad WU which produce a bad return code for EUE ...

Thanks! Do I need to do anything, or just leave my machine ID on 2 & press on?

Just press on.

The Pande Group knows that some WUs will be unstable but doesn't know which ones until somebody runs them. They should be a rather small percentage of any project.

IMHO, the client and servers don't handle the reassignment process the way I think they should, Even though it's on my personal wish-list for a future version of FAH, I expect that we'll have to wait a while for that future version and there's no guarantee that I'll get my wish.

From your report I was able to track down the bug and fix it in the next release of the ProtoMol core.

Thanks!
