WUs aborting with Max memory exceeded

Topic 187474
(moderation:
Recently I've had several workunits abort with a message such as this:
Aborting result H1_0267.9__0268.1_0.1_T08_Test02_2: exceeded memory limit 40000000.000000
This can be seen at http://einsteinathome.org/task/1094409
Note that was from the newest application version for Linux - 4.76. Others that had the same error under the earlier version (4.73 I belive) are:

http://einsteinathome.org/task/1076183
http://einsteinathome.org/task/1067551
http://einsteinathome.org/task/1062249
I didn't see any other reports of this kind of error.
I do compile my own Linux Boinc core client so that I have an optimized version. Don't know if this would cause the EAH application to produce this error or not.
Maybe someone at UWM wants to take a look. I'll be glad to supply other data as needed.

Charlie,
This was a bad oversight on my part. The memory requirements of the new 'coincidence' code are greater than that of the old code, and even there I hadn't left enough headroom. I've bumped the memory requirements up to 70MB, which I think should now be sufficient.

Added as FAQ item #494 ... I hope I have the explanation correct!
Remember, you can take pleasure in telling me how I don't know what I am talking about!

Thanks, Bruce!
