2 WUs stopped early [part-resolved]

2 of the last 3 CEP WUs that I crunched ended after only about 10% and 25% of the usual CPU time. They are currently showing as Pending Validation, but both status files contain the lines:
| [ERROR] Failed to open either source or destination files while copying wcgrestart.rst to ../../projects/www.worldcommunitygrid.org/E000026_683A_00035c00j_0_3. Error: 2
| ####Message = NORMAL STOP
Machine: Athlon64 X2, Windows 2000 SP4, BOINC 6.2.19
Relevant WUs: E000026_683A_00035c00j_0, E000023_425A_000336011_0
[Edits] 1.Thanks, Sek.
2. WU 23_425A has validated - (CPU time, Claimed /Awarded): Me - 4.26, 62.7 / 62.7; The Other Guy - 19.07, 202.9 / 62.7. TOG might be a little unhappy. This phenomenon has been reported elsewhere, but I don't remember any association with the error message above.
3. This behaviour seems to be inconsistent. Some crunchers complete a WU, others don't. I wonder whether the high page fault rate with CEP is occasionally catching out the operating system(s) and causing this. Any difference between o/ss and versions? Single CPU core vs multi?
4. I'm not certain, but these 2 errors probably happened while running 2 CEP WUs simultaneously. Other CEP WUs that completed normally were mostly run individually, with an FAAH WU in the other stream/core.

Re: 2 WUs stopped early, none received in last 27 hrs

That error (benign?) is known. Have asked the techs to comment. So far they seem to validate, and may account for larger discrepancy in the credit award for the wing-person that manages to run the task to the proper end.

Pulled 5 7 CEPs in the last few hours, so it's not a supply thing.

[added: From batch E000030, who look to be in the 7-8 hour range, after few have run 2 hours]
