A weird thing I just noticed. I only run BRP4s on my ATI HD6850 and the one that ran moments ago, was running for over 2 hours with progress stuck at 97.921%.

My system's been hibernating all day long, it switches off automatically in the morning 10 minutes after BOINC's been suspended for time-of-day. I restarted the computer at 21:24 local time and just now returned to my computer. Saw in BM that long run-time and no progress. GPU-Z showed my GPU temp was well below its normal 65C.

So I exited BOINC, waited for the OpenCL app to leave memory, then restarted BOINC.

I don't know what caused the hang, seems to be a fluke in the science app. stderr.txt says about that episode:

In the mean time the task has finished correctly. After restart it started from a previous checkpoint at 1h 10m, a lot less than the 2h+
