Looking at all the 9,834 producers: 37,309 successes in 842,985 attempts ~ 4.4% success rate

Keep in mind that these figures can be skewed by a variety of nonmalicious reasons, such as mislabeled factors giving me an apparent 8.4% P-1 success rate.

Yeah, I'm running both stages; I'm using 512-768 MB per core.

I know the probability that all of my computers are having hardware problems is extremely low, but I guess it does kind of make one wonder...

Maybe corrupted software that got cloned to all the boxes?
