I've made your WU ID into a link so others can easily look. If you follow that link, notice what the 'errors' line (above the listed tasks) now says.

This will have been caused by the project Admins withdrawing some bad WUs. Check the most recent posts in the 'Validate Errors' sticky thread for some background.

When a WU is canceled, if there is a completed (but pending) result waiting as part of the quorum of tasks that made up that WU, the validator will mark it as 'can't validate' because no further tasks will be issued. The other task still running is going to return a 'validate error' eventually since the data is bad. I assume that your task didn't get marked as a 'validate error' because the validator never did get to look at it. If it had, yours would be a 'validate error' too. I'm sorry that your host got a bad WU.

Cheers,
Gary.
