Message 409998 - Posted: 29 Aug 2006, 14:48:15 UTC

Approx. 1 hour ago my pc finished crunching a WU, and downloaded another one. But it exited immediately, with "compute error" state. In the log message section of BOINC Manager I found this: "Unrecoverable error for result 01my06aa.14705.9058.909646.3.20_2 ( - exit code -112 (0xffffff90))". Does anyone know exactly, what the problem was?

P.S.: All my other WU's were analysed without any problems...

Seems like I'm not the only one.

From the Wiki

ERR_XML_PARSE -112 unexpected XML tag or syntax Unexpected XML tag or XML format


Now what to do about it I don't know.

Exit out of BOINC and restart it is always and idea.
Rebooting too.

If that doesn't work, then you can reset the project. But that'll trash any Seti WUs you currently have. So make sure there aren't any listed in the Manager before you do this.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be around soon.

After the bad WU, my pc downloaded another one and now it's crunching it, it seems to be no problem with this one... And I noticed something: at these WU's the replication is not 4 as usual, it's 5(in my case) and 6(in Bj?/a>'s case).

Maybe just a few bad WUs escaped into the wild???
