We have a member in Peru, klepel, with several computers. One computer is an Intel 8-core with Linux, a lot of RAM, and Boinc 6.10.17.

Here is the computer:

Here are its tasks:
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/results.php?hostid=1067776

Although the computer has 8 cores klepel says it only uses 4 for CPDN. I think this is because the computer succeeds with hadcm models but crashes all its hadam3P models immediately or after a few seconds with exit code 1, using up the computer's daily model quota.

Here is an extract from the computer's Boinc manager messages:

Can anyone see a reason for all these exit code 1 crashes?
