I have been getting the following errors on 3 different quads (Phenom 9850BE) all running Debian/GNU Linux-AMD64:

<core_client_version>6.2.14</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
process got signal 11
</message>
<stderr_txt>
Unrecognized XML in parse_init_data_file: computation_deadline
Skipping: 1218907845.136000
Skipping: /computation_deadline
Unrecognized XML in GLOBAL_PREFS::parse_override: mod_time
Skipping: /mod_time
Unrecognized XML in GLOBAL_PREFS::parse_override: max_ncpus_pct
Skipping: 100.000000
Skipping: /max_ncpus_pct

</stderr_txt>

There are no devs responding on that project (it must be summer vacation) so I am submitting here to see if anyone has a remedy.

I have used BOINC versions 5.2.12, 6.2.12 and 6.2.14 -- no go.

I tried a static linked version -- no go.

SIMAP, Orbit@Home, and 3x+1 all run fine.

I am lost!

process got signal 11

This is a SIGSEGV error. These can be caused by:
- Memory out of bounds errors.
- An exception.
- Co-processor boundary violation.
- Stack fault.
- Page fault.
- General protection error.

So it can be something on your computer, or with the application or tasks.
See if your wingmen also get this error. If they do, it's 99.9% sure it's not your computer.

These are benign messages telling you that the application that's used isn't compiled against one of the newest APIs. You can ignore them, they don't do any harm.

I have checked, and they all get the exceptions and it doesn't matter the OS, the BOINC version or the CPU manufacturer.

The question that still remains: How can all my teammates get good WUs and I am the only one that can't get them?

There's only one totally believable explanation for this: You're jinxed. ;-)

Try to reset the project. Or a detach/reattach.

With everything I have tried: after I installed the app or boinc version or library versions, I would detach, reboot, attach and test. None of it worked.

I even created a new user with a new email and that didn't work, so I know I'm not the one who is jinxed. I have done every fix that I have been able to find on Google. Nothing worked.

I even cleared all the cookies and reset my cable modem and router,

I think I will try a non-BOINC project next month.

You can check if it's your hardware by testing to run Prime95 (another stress-test) and memtest86+ (RAM-tester).
