Why all of these (-221 (0xffffff23)) errors on Seti work units? They seem to be on Mac's running the Alex Khan application in the last 24 hours or so. Windows machines do okay, as do Mac's running the standard application. Is there something required in the app_info.xml file? The result has a "client error, aborted" message.

S@H has implemented a new feature. It issues 3 copies (results) of a WU, and requires 2 results to be returned and match. If the first two returned match, the third result becomes unnecessary. (That's not the new part.) Now, the server will abort that third result result from your machine if the third copy has not yet started crunching. That's the new feature. It helps reduce the amount of wasted crunching.

I think I like it. It doesn't waste resources and it gets rid of a lot of the shorter work units that don't give as much credit as the longer ones.
