My problem is somewhat similar to:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=7687

but Seti appears to be working ok. However I have two computation errors in Milkyway. Not all are resulting in errors.

Grepping around in /var/lib/boinc-client, I find lots of 'error' hits, but none that also match 'computation'.

Any ideas what might be going on here? How do I dig deeper into the two that failed?

Here's the first few lines of stdoutdae.txt:

Message 44726 - Posted: 4 Jul 2012, 14:58:23 UTC - in response to Message 44724.  

For errors, post your problem on the project's forums. It's their application that you're running, so it's their errors. BOINC doesn't do anything but manage the applications and work queue, it has no active crunching role, so any work related errors you come across are caused by the project's science application(s), so you have to ask that project about them.

Yes, BOINC can also throw errors, but these normally show when the whole shebang crashes... and unless you have a crashing BOINC.... ;-)
