It very probably has something to do with Nel's database, that's why we need further testing. Greg, if you could get Nel your "small election" database that would be a start.

> > Okay, this is pretty potentially serious. Nel (and anyone else), can you please try a couple of other databases to narrow it down a little. Does this happen with any run-of-the-mill database, or is there something special about this one that causes corruption? Since it got through Wyle (correct?) I wonder whether there isn't something quirky about the database. Or is it possible we went through the process without actually testing reject? Doubtfull.

> > Memory cards programmed to 1.96.2 firmware from the attached database consistently generate corrupt count messages when fed ballots marked in violation of ballot return conditions defined in the database. These include blank voted race, blank voted card and overvote. These corruption messages do not occur when ballots are fed that have been properly marked.
