For some unknown reason, while reattaching to another project (SAH-Beta) Boinc appeared to freeze; this, of course caused the current MAH task to crash with the WinERR pop. However, after using the taskmanager to Force-close BOINC, then reboot, I got a nice surprise:

now thats an interesting one :) luckily it didnt break anything on our end.

<core_client_version>5.10.30</core_client_version>

now thats an interesting one :)

And Today I paused one (forget which one, or I'd linkify it) accidentally by pausing/snoozing BOINC, and it completed after unpausing. So that breaks my personal streak of breaking WU's by pausing.

thats good news :) i wonder if people are still having this problem with the new binaries.

i wonder if people are still having this problem with the new binaries.

Yup, still got problems.

Just stopped the BOINC service while 1.13 was running.
Program Error. astronomy_1.13_.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.

Let me see if I can find it then. ;-)
stderr.txt says:

well thats not a very helpful error message. i'll try and track that down.

There were the usual Memory Leak messages before it. I just thought it was a bit big to post the full 1,049KB here. Have zipped it and emailed it to you. :-)

thanks :)

Had another case of having to force-close Boinc (Version 5.10.30) in the middle of a MAH WU; good news is: It restarted the task, didn't have an error popup for MAH (but one for BOINC; figures ;-p), and since I was using the <checkpoint_debug> tag, I can rest easier KNOWING that MAH checkpoints. (Primegrid doesn't, at least on the tasks I run.)

All PrimeGrid apps do checkpoint. I believe most don't report it to boinc though as it runs in a wrapper app.

Considering I'm the thread author... I'll forgive you. ;-)
"Wrapper?"

"Wrapper?"

[trac]wiki:WrapperApp[/trac]

It's a program that handles all communications between the application and BOINC, when the application cannot do this itself by default as it is not specifically written to run under BOINC.

Closed BOINC in preparation for a restart... M@H crashed, of course. Now it's working again.
