A WU 03bn_300029292_0 just got to 100% reported that it had finished and then died with this error. It uploaded several ZIP files after this, but is reported as a computation error.

http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=28736

It was running 4.03 client under 4.13 CC - which has obviously been updated several times since this WU was started.

Is this a problem with 4.03 (I have several other WU's on other systems running 4.03 client) and don't want errors reported against me. Some systems have completed WU's ok, but this is the first I've "witnessed" - theres over 30GB of empty space on the system.

Some of the workunits for 4.03 were sent out with the wrong size limit on one of the output files. Carl tried to send an email to everyone that had one of these with instructions on how to fix it. It sounds like you got one of these but missed the email.

Look at <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=757">this thread</a> for the history and solution.

On not getting the email, see <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=757">here</a> as well.

The problem affected only a few WUs and it may be that you have none of those left. The model isn't wasted - the lost file was an extra added for the scientists but not essential.
