hi,
i'm using the optimized boinc athlon xp linux client from

http://www.pperry.f2s.com/downloads.htm

now it seems that all results are invalid with this error:

4.19

Fstats.Ha: bytecount 1950105 checksum 93605666
Fstats.Hb: bytecount 1909178 checksum 91616935

http://einsteinathome.org/task/1358689

is it a problem of the optimized client? is anyone using it with success?

Not a problem or bug!

I have added something to the FAQ about this.

Ouch!! I just looked at this and they are just over (and on the wrong side of) the boundary between valid and invalid. It appears to me that our validator is being slightly too conservative. It will take me a day or two to follow this up: we probably need to make the validator slightly more liberal.
