Just started a system folding again and received this unit 3 times in a row. Each time it immediately died. Extract from the log file:

Is this a bad unit, or have others successfully processed it?

No data in the WU Database yet so I have marked it for a follow-up.

Skimming through the forum I came across this post by susato, viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17740#p179662, apparently I ran into a "well known bug" for the OS X client. I had not run into it before, and did not find mention of it in my previous searches. Since then I have run into it again, but only on my Core 2 Duo Mac doing 2 threads. So far I have not seen any sign of it on my i7 iMac with 8 threads available. Just mentioning it in this followup to spread the knowledge.
