Duplicate work?

also how it was spread over a few days is also weird, at least in my mind.

I've seen a few duplicates here and there, but usually one after another, as if two got assigned with some overlap. I've never seen it spread out like that before though.

I do know I reported some issues with project 18601 with my machine, and of the ones that failed me some 30+% of them failed on another machine. This issue I had was forwarded to a researcher, so it's possible they intended some duplicate assignment to troubleshoot potential problems or something.... completely a guess on my part.
Fold them if you get them!

At the end of last week the developer installed an updated WS code on the server for Project 18601. There was a bug that resulted in some WUs going out requesting use of a non-existent version of Core_22. That was fixed later that day, but some WUs would error out over varying times. That may be related to this WU being issued multiple times as recovery from "bad WU" returns were handled by reissuing them.
