Occasionally some WUs stall; sending 'quit' to offending Boinc restarts WU. Unfortunately, this happens on only one computer (ID: 58772, the only one I have with AVX) and only on WUs processed on CPU. Here are the messages:

I've turned the WU names into links to your task details, for the convenience of anyone else who wants to see the outcome, etc. So far, I haven't been able to spot anything unusual about the chosen functions or other things in the stderr information. Whatever the problem, it differs from the long time one where a few hosts sometimes hang within the function testing.

The last one you listed is of course an AP v6 task done on GPU, all that proves is nothing is ever as near perfect as we hope.

I'm not familiar with whatever you're using as a watchdog timer. It's certainly a good idea, can you clarify?. I tried to get Dr. Anderson to implement an option in the BOINC API which would have served that function, but he didn't see the need.
