This unit caused the a5 core to immediately crash several times. I think I downloaded the same unit 3 times.

I'm getting the same thing.

As am I. Here is a relevant excerpt of the log:

In addition, it caused the client to try to redownload the core exe again and again as well and was unable to connect to the work server many times. Something is rotten; perhaps the WU data is corrupted?

For now, I switched from -bigadv to -advmethods to get a non-bigadv WU and then restarted with -bigadv to do something besides download the same WU over and over again until it gets to a 24 hour EUE pause.

Thanks for the reports.

The WU (P6900,R32,C11,G40) has been reported as a bad WU.
