Hello!

This machine has now 2 problems...
1. It started to produce no consensus results for newest GW-research. Sad, because this machine did all of previous researches with 100% success.
2. I can not choose Binary Radio Pulsar Search only for this machine, because the feature "Run only the selected applications" is (and was) not working properly.

It is very funny - if You checked to run GW tasks only then YES! You will receive only them. But if BRP only then NO! - Your machine will continue to run all applications in reality.
Note - I have no direct access to my FreeBSD tractor, so app_info is not possible.

Comments are very welcome! :)

Nobody talks with me... New

New interesting detail. Results from my FreeBSD machine do not match results from Windows systems, but match results from Linux systems.
So:
- several Linux users may have validation problems;
- combination of computers Linux+Linux or Linux+FreeBSD may produce incorrect canonical results.

For opt-out S6Bucket not

For opt-out S6Bucket not working see e.g. this thread.

Regarding the validation issue: There might be a problem with the "compatibility" (i.e. non-SSE2) application that you are using, but we don't get enough results from these apps these days (< .5 % of all results) to see a trend there. The rate of invalid results (e.g. on the server status page) hasn't changed noticeably between S5GC1HF and S6Bucket.
