Three different User ID#s are showing up for you. Any chance someone else set up a client to donate in your name?

Which one isn't yours?

There appears to be an issue with 3798 WUs, which are used for testing new codes. There's something about the code used that adds an extra processor to the count. So if you have processed some of these, that might be doing it.

I will observe until next Wednesday to see if it goes back to two, but could something be happening on the Stanford servers rather than on our machines?

Well, how many clients do you actually run, and does each of them complete a WU every week?

Two clients. The number of WUs varies widely. Each does at least one per week. Where would a third client come from? I can see it the active processors going down to one or zero, but why would it go up to three? Never happened before.

Have you done any 3798s?
