Client error granted credit?

In normal case you won't get any credit for a client error WU.

But look at this thread: http://einsteinathome.org/node/189428

There was some problems with this h1... WU's, so Bruce decided to give this client error WU's credits.

yep: it is one of the

yep: it is one of the cancelled wu - if you look at the name it starts h1_ see this thread if you don't know what I mean.

Bruce set it up so everyone who was hit by this bug gets credit for what they crunched. If the wu went to completion, you get full credit, if you stop it with the 'Abort' button you get full credit for the time your box spent crunching it. As it was an error made centrally the decision was taken that participants should not suffer.

Ain't the project team good at owning up to their own mistakes?
