I have been having a few issues with one of my PC\'s that is crunching for cp.net with crashes and BSOD\'s.

I noticed yesterday that it had restarted BOINC, effectively doing a \'reset project\' for all of the projects I was working on. I suspect that the \'client_state.xml\' has been corrupted and BOINC has rebuilt an empty one. This was most annoying as the CP WU I was working on was over 30% completed. Checking in the BOINC directories, it looks like I have had more than one crash of the \'client_state.xml\' file, as there is another orphaned WU in there as well.

I don\'t think I will be able to restart crunching of these WU\'s from their current state, but given the long deadlines for these WU\'s I was wondering if there is a mechanism for letting cp.net know when we find a WU is orphaned, or if they do this automatically, given that they normally only issue one WU to each client?

You can post the WU number here, or wait for the trickle detector to give up on that host as having dropped the WU automatically (in a couple of weeks(?) with no trickle).
