We just got some Client Errors on G3 Macs (exit code 4, "illegal instruction") with the new 4.26 App. However, the App seems to run ok on our test-G3. I am currently investigating.

In the meantime if you notice your G3 gives Client Errors with the new App, I put the older 4.12 into a package for manual installation (there shouldn't be a difference in speed on G3s between them).

- Download this package.
- Quit the BOINC Manager.
- Put the two files from the package into the project folder "/Library/Application Support/BOINC Data/projects/einstein.phys.uwm.edu/".
- Remove the file einstein_S5R1_426_powerpc-apple-darwin from there.
- Start the BOINC Manager again. It will complain about not being able to link to the 4.26 Tasks, but the server will resend the "lost" tasks on next contact, and they will be done with 4.12.

Please report here in this thread and subscribe to it, further measurements will be announced here.
