Since I am a noob and can't add to the
main phoenix miner thread, I wanted to post my experience here in case it helps to identify the problem. I started using version 1.50 yesterday. First, I tried it on a machine with one card. Initially I used a 6850 and then today I upgraded to a 6970. Both were running with slightly overclocked core speeds but default specs otherwise. On that machine, phoenix worked great:

However, when I started using it on a second machine with two cards (two 1GB 6950s with their shaders unlocked, running at 920/650), I hit the "Server gave new work..." issue:

Both machines are essentially identical with respect to software. Windows 7 OS and ATI stream SDK 2.3. The command line I am using:
phoenix.exe -u
http://user:password@bitcoinpool.com:8334/ -k poclbm VECTORS -v AGGRESSION=11 FASTLOOP=false BFI_INT DEVICE=0 PLATFORM=1
Hope this information helps with the investigation. Happy to provide more details if anyone wants them.
