Got a bit of a problem with my current work stream. I had a catastrophic failure of CPDN / BOINC overnight recently. I'm not blaiming BOINC or CPDN for this at all - I know what caused the problem and it was an application I am developing which I left running overnight and which I've now realised was grabbing loads more resources than it should have until it killed the machine (and took BOINC and CPDN with it).

I won't be doing that again as I've figured out why my program did this.

In fact this was a bad scenario becaue after the failure in the middle of the night BOINC tried to start several new CPDN units with each one crashing immediately until my daily quota was exceeded (good thing that test is present in BOINC).

But I have a residual problem with BOINC & CPDN and it's just that the two original CPDN units which were on my machine at the time of the failure (one downloaded in advance by BOINC) and one that was 75%finished are still shown on my account as "in progress" which presumably means they won't be resent until next year. I guess it'd be friendlier to the project to flag them up as failed now as teh deadline is so far in advance. Is there any way I can do this? (I'm on BOINC 4.43 but the units no longer show in my work list)

We loose so many WUs', I am sure they have set up sensible systems to recycle any that need to be recycled. Unlike SETI, CP can generate units at will.
Thanks for the concern, but I suggest simply not worrying about it.
