I changed profiles to avoid HCMD2, because those all crash for P3/Athlon machines under linux. Of course, the first thing I got this afternoon on such a machine was a BETA_CMD2_0003-H2AYA.clustersOccur-ITB5A.clustersOccur_ NN_N ... which crashed immediately with an illegal instruction error.
By the way, it would be really nice if someone would shorten these long names. BETA_CMD2_0003-H2AYA-ITB5A_ NN_N would say exactly the same thing as the version with ".clustersOccur" sprinkled through it and be much neater. |

Perfect! Since the purpose of this test was not to fix this problem but to test duration normalization improvements it would have been a worry if your problem had disappeared.  Regarding the structure of the WU names I agree that these literals are a bit long, but in my long task lists they make a clear separation between the variable elements. Let's leave the scientists and the techs some freedom for organizing their work the way they fnd convenient for them. Cheers. Jean. |

They're so long that the Workunit Status popup for beta versions grows horizontal scroll bars because the table can't fit in the space available. Anyhow, yes, I didn't think a beta so soon would be testing the compile error. (Doesn't even need a beta. Compiling a program so that it doesn't produce illegal instructions on a P3 can be tested definitively with a single instance.) I just liked it as an example of Murphy's Law. |

i havent had a problem with the beta's crashing yet
----------------------------------------and how the project identifies the work units requires the job names to be long yes they probaly could change the BETA_ to B_ or such but that would cause issues but thhey posibly could be able to reduce the projects names but i do not think this is a real issue of the name.  |
