Hi,
I know this should really go directly to Scott, but I expect the
answer will be of interest to others as well.
I just found this in my logs:

Sending text message to server:
UID: S05901/Navi, User: Henrik Oluf Olsen, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sending expected completion date for M9800171: Mar 14 1999
ERROR 17: Exponent not assigned to us.
Followed by all other assigned work being not assigned to this machine,
and new work being assigned.
>From what I read, something buggered up in the communication, which
resulted in the machine getting a new accountname, and dumping the work to
do. Following this, I checked, and the old work is still assigned to the
old account/machinename.
This happened to three of the six machines I run mprime on, at around the
same time, so I wonder if we're likely to see a large virtual jump in the
statistics with regards the number of accounts, without any actual reality
behind it, as well as a lot of stale assignments.
My solution has been to quit the new accounts from GIMPS, then recreate
the worktodo files manually from the account info on the old accounts
assignment report and regenerate the prime.ini file for the old
account from backup. So far it seems to work.
