Yesterday we discovered that when result files are lost, say due to a restore from a backup (restores involve both the DB and the ULDL directories) the validator ends up in a endless loop. The entire result set for an affected workunit gets ignored and after a while the validator ends up enumerating only affected workunits and is thus in a loop. We turned off the validator when we discovered this. Today we have coded a fix and are testing it in the alpha project. While the validator is off credits are not given but they should show up once we turn the validator back on.
The snap server continues to run well.
