Just got some WUs and the 1st two units only took 1m 19s and 57s to process, my question is do we get WUs that small or is something SNAFUed or FUBARed, I had one other unit that processed in about 3m a couple of days ago......
Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well

If is said the WU was successful and gave you pending credit, I think looking at the stderr for that WU, you will see the -9 overflow informational message.

This is cool. It just means the WU has too much relevant data to process. The resulting output file would be too large. Also known as a "noisy" WU. :-)
