Sorry if this has been gone over already, but I was perusing my completed
results data and noticed alot of 0.00's on granted credit for WU's that had
succesfully completed.  It seems that if a single computer returns a bogus
result that everyone gets the shaft.  A bug in the validator SW?  As you can
see below, 3 computers, one being mine, returned succesful results and the
one wiht the unknown outcome appears to have forced a zero credit for
everyone else.  I've been seeing this regularly once I began looking for it.
Doesn't seem right to me....
