Shortly after a successful suspend/resume operation of a job, I very often see a WARNING message like Begin processing the 11th record. Run 1, Event 2463011, LumiSection 29557 at 12-Mar-2016 09:14:23.145 CET Begin processing the 12th record.

As far as I know, no. That looks like a normal warning that a calculation has gone astray -- remember that most of the code has been written by grad students with little or no formal computer-science training... :-) ...and of course that floating-point calculations are often not exact. If we do establish a correlation with suspension that would be a little more worrying, but in any event the effect is going to be buried in the statistics (unless it's appearing as a SUSY particle!). |

Thanks Ivan, I think that correlation is just my imagination. |
