I sent you a PM Bruce ... Steve

Gentlemen:

Exploring my stats tonight. I'm running Windows XP on an older laptop (Dell XPS M1210) that doesn't quite have enough memory to do the 16e sieves and 500M of ECM at the same time. Compared to Gimps/Primenet/www.mersenne.org (where Batalov and I have talked a bit, and one CPU on this machine does ECM) I lose a few credits due to scheduling issues. (I'd call NSF@home a bit more military in its scheduling style, with the 15e work units taking the machine about 2 hours each, and things not working too well with interruptions to the internet connection and/or the computing itself.)

Now tonight, I have two WUs that acquired computation errors as follows:
(the other one refers to a different w.u. and a different special q that does not divide.)

1) Can I rerun the W.U. to see if this is a random error on my machine, which is by no means overclocked and running in a relatively cool room?

2) Or is this a programming problem that you guys want to hunt down?

I got some of this error code:

- exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005)

http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/result.php?resultid=10542619

Is this a problem of out of ram?
