I was checking the log in SETISpy just now and it appears I have a weird WU. Anyone ever get anything like this?

0.22% complete with 44 spikes, best spike being 383.656.

Here is the C/P from my logfile:

8/21/2001 5:21:07 PM 16mr01ab.29781.33472.522150.102 21.523 15.910 0.430 0.009 0.006 0.22% 44 383.656 0 1.136 2 1.532 142 18.120

Does SETI reject bad WUs and just start on another?

No problemo! After a while seticlient will decide it's useless to go on and return the WU. This is most probable caused by interference from signals from eath itself, it happens from time to time in some WU's!

And now the good news: you will get just the normal reward as for one completed WU! because you did the science on it, consider youself lucky. The result will be discarded in further alien hunting.
