Ok, something is still seriously messed up, at least with the OPNG WUs on Macs.

I saw a WU earlier today on my Mac, which seemed to run for a change (previously, the Betas all bombed out immediately), but when I now checked a few hours later, the result shows up as "too late". With the result returned 40min after it had been received!

And to make matters worse, two other wingmen each before and after are showing "invalid" results.

Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot!?!?!?!

Any admin care to explain what is going on here (those Mac WUs bombing out as Betas was never commented on )

There is a thread about this issue, Uplinger has posted in it several times:
Invalid GPU work units

Ralf, you wrote in an earlier post:In the thread that goben_2003 pointed out, it is explained what Too Late means in this situation:

I am glad to hear that. I have a 2GB version running on Ubuntu for the last several days and its never even gotten a single WU. That's in spite of it being precisely programmed to ask twice every 5 minutes. I know there isn't much work now but there was days ago. Hopefully they load enough units I can get a few to test it. My Linux box is a big monster so there is plenty of room to run cards in it.

Server's WU validity voting system may be letting Invalid WUs pass:
(but maybe not)

I've just checked through some of my recent OPNG Invalid results. In the great majority of cases, all wingmen also returned results deemed Invalid, or Server Aborted, or Too Late if they returned their result after the WU was declared bad.

However, in 2 cases there were WUs with 3 copies Invalid, and 2 Valid.
Do these WUs get classified as Valid, and returned to the scientists as such?
It only takes 2 of the devices to get the same erroneous result (like 2 viruses or cancer cells in different parts of the world happening to get the same successful mutation independently), and you could have a breach of the validation system.
Or are such cases returned as Inconclusive?
