One of my wu\'s has reached 66.6%. It is sending up a trickle message every 50 secs or so. According to the log this is being sucessfully received.This has been going on for about an hour. Is this normal behaviour for a 45 year unit or am i stuck in a loop. . If i\'m in a loop what should I do about it? I.ve closed BOINC and restarted the programme

This is normal behavour for a slab model at end-of-phase. There\'s over one hundred of the trickles, and the REALLY important one is among the last three. This contains the data for creating the graphs for the model. (Under your Account / model_name.)
Just let it get on with it.

This \"large number at end-of-phase\" problem has been fixed in a new type of slab currently being tested.

Well i\'ve learned something. unfortunately your reply arrived just too late. I\'d convinced myself that i was stuck in a loop and aborted the Work unit. next time i\'ll be patient. It wont be long my next job\'s approaching 52% and counting. i can only say sorry and hope what was processed proves to be useful science

There is useful background information on the main forum which explains about trickles (and this particular problem):
