	In this work unit, you can see that it shows 3 for the initial replication, which is the number of results associated with this work unit. However, the initial number of results generated for this work unit is 2 work units. It looks like the code is retrieving the number of results associated with this work unit.

Not so much a bug as a misnomer. The field should really be called # of replications since it as always indicated how many times the WU has been replicated. It is incremented when a copy of the WU is added to the queue for distribution. ____________ Questions? Answers are in the "Unofficial" BOINC Wiki. Boinc V7.0.27 Win7 i5 3.33G 4GB, GTX470
