[Prime] ERROR 3 and stuck exponents

[Anurag Garg]

Hi All,
 	I have seen this behavior from the Primenet server in the past 
few months as well. Usually this coincides with SQL errors on the 
Primenet server. Typically, when the SQL server is down and one tries to 
connect to the server to report updated completion dates, the server 
responds with an ERROR 3: Exponent is not assigned. Note that this is 
different from the usual ERROR 11: Exponent not assigned to this 
account.
 	After this, those exponents will remain on one's assigned list 
even after repeated reporting of results for them. In time, they will 
expire and be reassigned to someone else - even though they've been 
done. Eventually they will be removed from the Primenet assigned list 
after the second result is returned. This has happened several times 
over the past few months for me and other on my team (TPR).
 	One possible cure - which I have not tried is to manually force 
the exponent to expire and then pick it up again and then try to return 
a result. This MAY work.
