When BOINC shows "Completed, validation inconclusive" and credits "pending", what does this mean?

I have some dating back to 01/01/13 with this on them.
 
BOINC tasks have a setting called minimum quorum. If this is set to 2 or more then you need that number of computers to send the same result before credit is granted. "valdation inconclusive" means your computer has returned a result that does not match with other result(s) so the task needs to be sent out again in order to reach the minimum quorum. There is also the max # of error/total/success tasks setting. If the task is sent out this number of times without reaching the minimum quorum then the task is normally considered to have an error and no credit is granted.

I have pending tasks going back to early december in some cases. Its nothing to worry about.
