Apparently (according to BOINCLog X) I have completed one WU (29dc04aa.15831.5458.311076.169_1_0) in a total time of 3 mins 54 sec. and with an err_txt: SETI@Home Informational message -9 result_overflow NOTE: The number of results detected exceeds the storage space allocated.

Anyone know what this is all about?

It found way too many spikes, etc. in that work unit, so the client quit early. Most likely it was either full of RFI (radio frequency interference) or was a test unit.

The client exits early when the file of data to return to berkeley grows beyond a certain size.

Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power.

Most likely full of RFI? Well how will we know since it wasn't analysed?

.... because there is so much RFI that the chance of pulling a signal out of the noise is extremely low.
