I've got one of these v8.24 tasks. It's survived one restart, so is there some difference to the tasks that almost always crashed on restart?

Ah, a BT engineer told me this was why my 1979 phone line was rubbish. He said something about them coming loose. But for the price I'll stick to aluminium!

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money,” wrote Pratchett. “Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of okay for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

Both new batches appear to be the older "Weather At Home 2 (wah2) v8.24" application, so it looks like a bit of benchmarking is going on.

Small batch 1011 appears to have dropped. I have one running and 1st trickle has uploaded.

I mean seriously, warnings on chainsaws not to stop them with your genitals?!

Starting to get some tasks from batch 1009 - I assume these are the test run.

I believe the Intel runs are behaving correctly and failing. It's the AMD runs not behaving.

Thanks Glen. I will abort the two not started yet as credit isn't a issue for me.

Dave, you might recall your dev test did fail and that was on AMD.

The only pattern I've noticed (if it is a pattern), is that my failures were on a Win10 VM running on a intel chip, whereas the same VM running on a AMD has got 3 tasks past 1/Jan.
