Scheduler bug?

(moderation:
When I manually updated my project to report results just a little while ago, I got this error:
2006-03-16 23:57:53 [Einstein@Home] No start tag in scheduler reply
2006-03-16 23:57:53 [Einstein@Home] Can't parse scheduler reply
After a minute, the client reconnected with the server, and it worked fine. However, when it connected, the scheduler attempted to send around 60 work units to my computer. I noticed this and began manually aborting downloads to save space on my computer, but about 25 still got through.
This is a Windows machine running version 5.2.13 of the BOINC client on XP, and I will admit to using one of akosf's optimized applications, but this has never occurred in several upload/download cycles with the application, so I don't know where the fault lies.
If any more information is needed, point me where to find it, and I'll gladly provide it.
Scheduler bug?

In manually update?
This is craziness... "succeeded" -> "wrong URL" :P

I am not attached to the URL listed in these messages. 2 quick manual updates did not give me the same message. It did appear to allow me to attach to that URL but I did not complete the sequence to be sure.
Seems to be a little oddity in the new scheduler code.

Your computers are hidden. This prevents us from having a look at the scheduler logs. Please unhide your computers.

I can do exactly the same

I can do exactly the same thing:
17/03/2006 15:53:00|Einstein@Home|Sending scheduler request to http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/EinsteinAtHome_cgi/cgi
17/03/2006 15:53:00|Einstein@Home|Reason: Requested by user
17/03/2006 15:53:00|Einstein@Home|(not requesting new work or reporting completed tasks)
17/03/2006 15:53:05|Einstein@Home|Scheduler request to http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/EinsteinAtHome_cgi/cgi succeeded
17/03/2006 15:53:05|Einstein@Home|You are using the wrong URL for this project
17/03/2006 15:53:05|Einstein@Home|The correct URL is http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/EinsteinAtHome/
17/03/2006 15:53:05|Einstein@Home|Detach this project, then reattach to http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/EinsteinAtHome/
My computers aren't hidden. It was the Celeron contacting home base. Not that that helps much. "The requested URL /sched_logs/2006-03-17_14/2006-03-17_14:50.txt was not found on this server." .. D'oh.

You have to wait some minutes.
Nothing unusual here. Maybe it is the beta BOINC application?

I can reproduce this problem. I made some fixes to the scheduler yesterday, and must have introduced a new bug.
[Edit] We think we have now found and fixed this. Please report any further problems to this thread.
