That\'s another relic from the 5 month old misallocated workunits problem :(

Trickles for result id 849805 have been returned by 3 different hosts. The result is currently registered at host id 203786, which the second trickling host (id 171480) must have been merged into.

Your system didn\'t pass the maximum trickle point reached by the second host (which has been assigned all the credits) until 13th August, which was well after the point when Carl did a massive SQL to reassign the affected results to the host that had progressed the furthest. I\'ll highlight the problem to Carl.

From your results list it looks like you haven\'t downloaded a new result. If you\'re working on a result it\'s probably be best to abort it (unless it\'s one of the 3 assigned to your computer last December, but that\'s extremely unlikely).
