Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but my workunit, restarted after 545 hours of crunch time already devoted, and 47 of 72 work units already sent back.

Is this an isolated problem, and if not, any suggestions??

-- Kunal Sharma

P.S. If anyone's interested, the work unit is named

Others have occasionally reported this as well. It sucks. I had one do it back in the early days of BOINC, but not since.

Guesstimate of best advice, upgrade to 4.13 if you haven't and always Suspend, pause a second or two, then Exit BOINC cleanly from the menu. No guarantees that those two things will make it so it never happens again, but unclean shutdowns of BOINC can be blamed for a number of problems.

Thought I'd tracked this down to an empty active_task_set section in the client_state.xml file, but I've just tested and it's a bit more than that.
