Same : http://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/workunit.php?wuid=14396632 Does "Too many errors (may have bug)" mean this workunit has already been flagged? |

Thank you for reporting this. Note that the last one was completed successfully on the 5th try. This is an example of a long standing issue that I have been unable to track down - many users get seg faults but when I run the WU stand alone, it finishes just fine (as it did here on the 5th try). Seems to happen more often with the lower discriminant subfields, where it tests many more polynomials and spends more time doing numberfield discriminant calculations. |

Same : "Too many errors" means it has had a computation error too many times and the server has automatically flagged it (and also canceled it). |

Hi there! I had one of these WUs too which crashed with the PARI segmentation fault. http://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/workunit.php?wuid=15008080 |

Thanks for reporting. I remove these from the server when I am made aware of them. |
