What does it mean in the context of EAH?

People are asking, and when you Google for it you get talk about it being an indicator of a special feature used by CPDN (the so called 'Killer Trickle' to deliberately kill a faulty model from the project side).

The first time I looked for it a week or so ago I also came across a reference mentioning it was due to faulty work files from the project (PAH or Rosetta, but I don't recall for sure).

Unfortunately, Googling didn't reveal that link again. Yeah I know...

Give self slap on head for not bookmarking it! :-)

Well, Einstein was German, so perhaps it is 99 Luftballons? ;-)

Seriously though, I poked around some too and didn't find anything particularly helpful, including an old post from you that suggested, coincidentally to Annika, checking the drive(s) for problems...

Edit: Not saying that you weren't helpful... Oh, you know what I mean...

It could well be faulty data

It could well be faulty data in the result. Yet why it will crash on one system and not on the other... call it Gremlins.
The error is at least an application error, not a BOINC error.

That's what I'm thinking now.

That's what I'm thinking now. It's an app malfunction but BOINC is interpreting it as a 'Kill the result' command initiated the abort.

So that's my theory until an authoritive source says otherwise. ;-)

LOL....

Yep, Google can sometimes make plausible deniability a little bit shaky. :-)

Moral of story;

It frequently pays to think twice before clicking 'OK'. :-D

There are 2 thread about this

There are 2 thread about this problem in the bug report section but no answers yet.
With me it only happened on a win/intel box which is otherwise running fine, no problems with any other programmes (CPDN and Rosetta), it also ran SETI without problems before Thumper failed.
EAH had no problems untill they started the S5R2 run, the problem must be in there.
Untill it is resolved I will not run EAH on my win/intel box, it's just wasting cyles, CPDN and Rosetta will keep my CPU warm for now.

Crunch on,
Rob.
