On SETI-BOINC I seem to have difficulty uploading a recently completed
result. In the BOINC Manager messages tab the following message has
repeated for the last 1 hour 50 minutes ...

19/08/2005 22:28:50|SETI@home|Error on file upload: [16my04ab.21925.1504
.565904.43_3_0] locked by file_upload_handler PID=15229

Anyone know what this means?

Will it eventually be uploaded, or should I just kill it with the "abort
transfer" at the transfer tab?

Do a search with Google
Seams to be server side problem.
Wait it out or abort the WU

Googling with the whole of the error message, and different fragments
gave links to many subjects from Anime to break dancing. Nothing SETI.
At least not the way I did it :((

Clearly, either the WU calculation has gone wrong at my end, and the
"file upload handler" does not like it. There may be some validity
testing to prevent cheating (remember the early days of SETI Classic).
Or the problem is at their end. 

I think I will wait out the unit's return-by-date, which is reported to
be 31/08/2005 at 03:31:15. The Validators will either accept the result
or delete it and move on. If I still have it hanging out here after that
date I can abort the WU.
