I'm running BOINC 5.10.28 on a laptop with Windows XP OS with SP 2. Over a year, it has done its work properly, but just a few minutes ago I saw this:
05.10.2008 16:36:26|Einstein@Home|Task h1_1052.65_S5R4__940_S5R4a_1 exited with zero status but no 'finished' file

What can I do? Do I really have to reset the project - means to remove it, as far as I understand it - from my computer? What about my account then?
Kind regards,

Hi!
Please press the "Update" button which will transmit der output from the failed jobs to the server immediately so we can have a look.

Can't acquire lockfile - exiting

Is it possible that you have configured boinc to use less than 100% of the CPU cycles?
There is a bug in BOINC itself (not in the einstein@home app) that can cause problems with this setting. Most of the time, setting the threshold to 100% CPU in your preferences (in the web frontend here) solves the problem.
The BOINC devs are working on a fix but I guess this will take some more time.
I've been running einstein@home on two computers (both of which are on more or less permanently) for years now. I rarely look at detailed statistics because if I see general progress being made on the boinc statistics tab, then I am happy. But today I just chanced to look in detail at my einsteing@home results for both computers and was somewhat disturbed to see the majority of work unites on both machines seem to fail with a client error (and have been doing for some time). Please see below for the error nformation but the gist seems to be that something is locking a file and various waits occur as retries are made and then eventually the whole thing times out.
Clearly, with all of these exit (0) going on, Something seems to be locking a file einstein@home is trying to write to. I can only imagine that it is either Norton 360 antivirus or einstein@home itself. Both machines are running vista 32 bit on Intel core due processors. Both machines have two processors and I have been allowing up to 100% cpu on each processor, so i guess there is some possibility of a deadlock condition between two running instances of einsteing@home?
Anyway, for the momet I have restricted boinc so that it can only use one processor on each machine and I will see how that plays out. Any help or advice would be much appreciated though because this problem has resulted in the loss or waste of many weeks of cpu time which is very disappointing.
Many thanks

Forgive be for being dense, but where does one find these 32bit compatibility libs? Einstein appears to be running fine under a stock 64bit processor using a Kubutu (KDE) interface on another machine.

As always, different versions of Linux install different things. So some automatically install the 32bit libraries, some do not.
