Yup,
Seen it now and again.
I mean, what are the chances of you getting given the exact same work unit to do again? (I mean I know they send the same unit it to more than one person, but it just seems unlikely you'd get the same one again)
It's so damn annoying when it happens, cause you look at the 'Time Taken' and think, hummm, 7 wasted CPU hours!It cost one penny to cross, or one hundred gold pieces if you had a billygoat.
Trolls might not be quick thinkers but they don't forget in a hurry, either -

On all my SETI machines today, I have this error.... anyone else?

Probably due to this

After several days of attempting to fix the damage to the database, we've come to the conclusion that a restore is the only remaining option. We're taking the opportunity to modify the server configuration for what we hope will be enhanced reliability. Malfunction of the RAID controllers has been the cause of most of our major outages. We've decided to stop using hardware RAID and move to a software RAID configuration. Software RAID will allow is to mirror and stripe across controllers, so the failure of a single controller should not shut us down or lead to an unrecoverable situation. We're in the process of reconfiguring now. The restore should start tomorrow. There are 13 tapes that need to be restored. Last time it took about 4 hours per tape, so that's a bit more than two days, assuming we don't sleep.

On Saturday, one of the RAID cards in the science database machine indicated that all of the drives attached to it had failed. Since then the server has been running as well as it can without the science database. We're working on fixing the problem. Hopefully it won't require a restore from backup.

Last night the server started generating spurious "duplicate result" messages. The cause appears to be related to a server revision made yesterday afternoon. We've reverted to an earlier server version and are investigating the problem.
