Thanks Ralic for this fix.

This solution worked great for me. I had installed v4.12 on two of my three computers without any problems but the third was locking up no matter what I tried. The other two systems were set to work with the 60 min peramiter for 'Switch between applications every' but the third was set to home with a blank min peramiter.

Thanks again for the fix.

My setting in General Preferences have always been 60 minutes (same as 0.60):

"Switch between applications every (recommended: 60 minutes) minutes" from: http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/prefs_edit_form.php?subset=global


The last time I received the messages up to the switch and then my home settiings, and then the GUI froze at the messages tab.

Yep, looks like you hit the nail on the head.

From the checkin notes:

- in global prefs XML, if cpu_scheduling_period_minutes is empty,
set it to 60 (this caused core client to hang in some situations)
- renamed PREFS::cpu_sched_period to cpu_scheduling_period_minutes
(matching what it's called in the XML)
