I encountered a problem with an ibercivis WU that missed it's deadline because it didn't run at high priority.

progress: 100%
To Completion: ---
Status: Waiting to run

It's not unusual for a WU to be in this state. I'm guessing that it has some cleanup code that needs to run before it is completely finished.

What is unusual is that BOINC let it sit there and ran WUs that were not in deadline trouble until about a day past the deadline. Then the WU got a time slice and immediately declared itself as having a compute error.

Someone might want to check the client code and see whether it is checking for "waiting to run" status or just checking for "100%" when the client is determining whether to run the WU at high priority.
