David, Eric:

I'm beginning to get worried  that this may be happening because:

* Fermi cards are in the retail chain, in quantity, and
* No Fermi compatible app has been installed on the main project yet

We have at least one report 
(http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=60079#1000943) of a user 
who installed the card first, and asked questions afterwards: I haven't 
dared look to see how many more examples there are in Q & A. Perhaps people 
spotting and tempted to report this problem could check for the Fermi 
hardware / stock cuda23 application combo.

Now we've got the DLL compatibility and application planning under control 
at SETI Beta, how close are we to declaring v6.10 "tested" and safe to 
install at the main SETI project? That would ease a lot of the problems, and 
nip this data pollution in the bud.
