I think i've fixed the problem with the recent batches of workunits not working. Let me know if they're still having problems.

Hmm, I'm currently (the last 2 weeks or so) experiencing an issue that my current Milkyway workunit is restarting computation instead of continuing on returning to work when other Projects are pausing. Progress bar starts with 0% when commencing instead of (e.g.) 84% (of the previous state).

It's like Sisyphos.

Is this about the "bad workunits"?
What can be done?

BOINC is 6.10.43; MacOSX-10.6.3;

This behavior does not apply to Seti, Einstein, or Climate Prediction.

Yeah we've had a couple reports of checkpointing not working on OSX for some reason. I'm trying to figure it out.

FWIW, the last two WUs that I have rub on MWH .26 and OSX 10.6.3 both were somewhat strange. One took 8 hours to get to 2-3% and then finished in another 10 hours. The other experienced the "no checkpoint" problem. It had run for 8-9 hours, then I shut BOINC (and my computer) down for the night. This morning, it restarted from scratch.
