It's not an incompatibility between Aqua and ABC. I've had Aqua do something similar to other projects as well. Basically my experience has been that Aqua is a resource hog that tends to 'steal' resources from other projects, but it isn't always successful at shutting those other projects down before it takes their resources. This can cause WUs from other projects to crash, stall, or sit there with a rising cpu time while reading "waiting to run", among other things.

Here's a copy of an email I received from the American Astronomical Society just in case anyone else is interested in participating. My dot is already on the map for tonight.
SHED LIGHT ON LIGHT POLLUTION! JOIN THE GLOBE AT NIGHT CAMPAIGN, 16-28 MARCH!
More than one-fifth of the world population, two-thirds of the United
States population and one half of the European Union population are
unable to see the stars in our Milky Way galaxy arch across a
pristinely dark sky. With half the world's population now living in
cities, this problem is only getting worse. Yet you can easily be part
of a local solution to a global problem.
Shed light on light pollution! Take a few minutes to monitor your
local night sky brightness, place your measurement on-line noting your
location, date and time and within a few weeks see a map of light
pollution levels worldwide.
Be part of the "GLOBE at Night" citizen-science campaign and make a
world of difference! The GLOBE at Night campaign runs March 16-28,
2009. Help preserve our natural heritage for generations to come. Find
out more information at the GLOBE at Night web site
(www.globe.gov/GaN). GLOBE at Night is an official International Year
of Astronomy Dark Skies Awareness cornerstone project.

projects and the effects of light pollution, visit the links on

My machines are not getting new work since today or yesterday.
is the project done ?
I don't think so. I'm still getting plenty of new workunits (not resends either).
