I've had quite a number of these bad work units over the past couple weeks. However, I've only had but one so far in this batch. Unrecoverable error for result 13fe08ac.24787.11115.4.7.231_0 ( - exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005)) |

Are you running the 5.10.13 client on that machine? As Andy says - if it ain't broke, why fix it? I tend to be more interested in testing new science applications - that host spent some time doing a 100% timing run over at Einstein, to test a new app. I don't think it's a good idea to test two changes at once, so I tend to find a BOINC I like and stick with it until I see a stable upgrade with new features I'm interested in. In this case, I liked the v5.10.xx range because of the separation between Connect Interval and Additional Cache: and I think that v5.10.13 was about the first of the range to be generally regarded as stable. So I upgraded from v5.8.16, and left it at that. |

Now here's a funny thing. I picked up a task from WU 234686530 overnight. It's a 13fe08ac.6032 datafile, and it has the same empty splitter_cfg block that I reported on yesterday: needless to say, it crashed out instantly with a 'Bad workunit header'. So like us you hang on to the old working, controllable version. Still running 2000 on Pent M here. One answer, most of it was stolen and modified to become new technology. |

Did Eric know that he's got a splitter running wild? Or did you tell him? |

< actually Richard, as You may of been aware of yesterday - Eric was 'a whole lot-a-busy' with some other Issues on the Boards that he had to deal with . . . here's what i was talkin' to Eric re:
so, IF i get the opportunity (with some luck) i'll mention your point today . . . Respectfully, richard [edit] just mailed Eric note, Richard BOINC Wiki . . . Science Status Page . . . |

so, IF i get the opportunity (with some luck) i'll mention your point today . . . Thanks for that. If Matt's off sick, Eric will need all the help he can get - and if the Moderators are being part of the problem instead of part of the solution, we'll have to find alternative ways. Tell Eric he may find messages 723496 and 723462 have done some of his work for him. |

so, IF i get the opportunity (with some luck) i'll mention your point today . . . > Richard - the Link that i sent him refers to this thread - so he'll see your other links too as for help - there must be @ least ONE person - that could volunteer some help - as per Eric's request quite a number of times - where he requested assistance with many an Issue and as far as i have seen - nobody's jump in and offered . . . i think that those requests of Eric's get LOST in all that goes on here on the Boards . . . i wish i knew Code etc - i'd of been right there with the help needed - so, somehow we have to find a way to get the word out there to ALL those that are quite capable of assisting - but they're just NOT aware of the problems @ hand . . .

I've given up counting. Must be about 100 of them over the past few days. Hopefully the cache I have is enough for them to have passed through the system before I get any more work. |

Just got home from work a bit ago, and started to check on the crunchers' activities for the day........ Went into a bit of a panic when I saw the phased quaddy with a bevy of compute errors showing........thought something had seriously gone away..... Then upon further review, I realized it was a passel of these bad header WUs, and all the wingmen reporting them had errors as well....whew... This kitties feel much better now...LOL.
