CoreStatus = 8B (139)

On one of my v5 client machines, been getting this continuously for a few days now. The pattern is always the same:

[10:41:50] Completed 57500 out of 250000 steps (23%)
[10:44:18] CoreStatus = 8B (139)

Then the WU is deleted, the same WU downloaded again, and this continues until 23%. It seems after every 2 failures, the core is redownloaded. I read that corestatus 8B was related to instability, but this seems a bit too deterministic to be hardware instability. Since this is running off a USB stick I'm going to test it in another machine, but curious if sometimes WUs can have issues that prevent their completion?

I don't have an answer but maybe it's the v5 client you are using (it's not even listed as a client on the main F@H page)? IIRC newer WU's need newer cores and new cores need newer clients. The v5 client is very old so maybe you got a new WU that does really like the client/core mix you have?
