Damn :(

My R5000 is connected via SETIqueue, but when it comes to sending the Result back,
SETIqueue always reports this problem :

Result was dropped
Reason : Program modified

Now I've deleted the Client, and copied a new one right back onto it.
Still, the Problem persists, and I'm running out of ideas here :p

Machine :
SGI Indy, R5000/150, 192MB RAM
OS : Irix 6.5
Client : mips4-sgi-irix6.2 V3.04

A SGI Indigo2 R10000/195 runs the very same Client, same OS, yet has no Problems (??!?)

Any help would be appreciated, since the machine keeps working literally 'for nothing' :(


Sounds like the result is maybe corrupted or not properly identified somehow. Have you tried 
copying the result file to one of the other SGI machines and attempting to return it from 
there? It would be helpful to find out exactly where it is dropping the ball. If it is 
generating a valid WU which can be returned by another machine you could always do some
work around solutions like installing a queueing program on the problematic machine.
Perhaps something like Jsetidoor could relay the results to your queueing machine as it
identifies itself as the WIN NT CLI.
