Never seen those error codes here. Running notfred's linux folding under Windows.

It happens occasionally (and it's the trickiest one for us to fix because it looks the same as if the user hit ctrl-c). What happens when the WU restarts? Does it complete successfully?

Well it doesn't restart, it just sat there for hours overnight until I stopped and restarted notfred's. Then of course it fetched an entirely different WU and is still crunching it.
