Maybe this crash is interesting to someone?:

Machine:
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=227943

WU result:
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=1097228

Looking at the Messages tab, I see that this WU followed this sequence of events:
(I would cut/paste the following info from the Messages screen but the BOINCManager Copy Selected Messages button doesn\'t work).

Sat Sept 24 10:38 Result 46dx_a00295173_0 started, using sulphur_cycle version 4.21
Sun Sept 25 06:45:33 Successful trickle
Sun Sept 25 15:36:48 \"Suspending computation and network activity - running CPU benchmarks\"
Sun Sept 25 15:36:48 \"Pausing result 46dx_a00295173_0 (removed from memory)\"
Sun Sept 25 15:36:50 \"Running CPU benchmarks\"
Sun Sept 25 15:36:53 \"Unrecoverable error for result 46dx_a00295173_0 (process got signal 10)\"
Sun Sept 25 15:36:53 \"request_reschedule_cpus: process exited\"

The benchmarking then completed normally, and then BOINC requested a new WU from another project.

My BOINC prefs include \"leave result in memory\" set to \"yes.\" Other info you can get from the machine/WU links I gave above.

Reporting a second occurrence of this crash, on the same machine. I\'ve now detached this machine from CPDN (until this bug gets fixed). This time it happened after two trickles. But it was indeed the first time a benchmarking interruption occurred while this WU was in progress.

I\'ve now confirmed this bug with a different machine:

Machine: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=229143

WU: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=1102297

As with the other Mac, this crash occurred the first time that BOINC interrupted itself to run benchmarks (as opposed to running benchmarks upon BOINC startup, which happens before the current WU is loaded into memory).

There is a known bug in Windows, with BOINC versions 4.4n
This causes the program to not restart after a benchmark. In Mac\'s, it may crash the machine.
The long anticipated 5.n version may fix the problem.
Which will leave all the new bugs to be found the hard way.

Ah, ha. I\'ve now confirmed that. I installed the beta version of BOINC 5.1.4 on this G5 iMac:
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=229143

And yesterday it survived its first scheduled benchmarking interruption without crashing.
WU result: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=1044232

One can get beta versions of BOINC here:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/

I\'m using \"boinc_5.1.4_macOSX.zip\" , but as of today a BOINC 5.1.8 for Mac is now available.

Hope this helps others.
