Hmm...

Since about 24 hours, several of my Machines quit a certain percentage of SETI Workunits with 0 Seconds runtime and the Status "Computation Error" ?!

BOINC GUI reports :
"Result [name] exited with zero status but no 'finished' File"

"If this happens repeatedly, you might need to reset the Project"

"Aborting Result [name] exceeded Memory limit 33445522.000000"

"Unrecoverable error for result [name] Maximum Memory Usage exceeded"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Just a Batch of faulty Workunits (other Projects are running perfectly fine on the Machines) ?
Or might the frequent suspending and timeslicing of 3 different Projects might cause a Memory Leak/Problem in the long run ?

-- edit --
Just had the same machine produce the same error again.
(Linux, Athlon64 3000+, 512MB RAM)

I remote logged into the machine to check the RAM usage, but it looks completely normal, plenty of free RAM available (as expected)

Again :
"Aborting Result [name] exceeded Memory limit 33445522.000000"
(same number concerning Memory limit, although technically, the Client could take 10x times that amount of Memory without causing Problems)

What gives ?
I've just given it the "Reset Project" Command, let's see if that helps...
*scratches head*

Hmpf...

It got alot less now, I just had only one more of these errors a few Minutes ago...

Either disabling the "Leave Application in Memory when Suspended" worked, or I need to reboot and/or reset the Project on the affected machine.

Just odd, seems I have an isolated Problem there on those 2 Linux machines that nobody else has :p
