So one of the following projects was causing the trouble: depspid, mindmodelling, gridfinity, harvard clean energy, WCG, and QCN.

I'm not attached to depspid, gridfinity and harvard clean energy.

All fingers are pointing at QCN. It's the only one with a super-long account file too.

Message 19366 - Posted: 9 Aug 2008, 0:47:15 UTC - in response to Message 19362.  

I think I found the cause.

08-Aug-2008 00:25:43 [---] [status_debug] CLIENT_STATE::write_state_file(): Writing state file
08-Aug-2008 00:25:43 [---] [status_debug] CLIENT_STATE::write_state_file(): Done writing state file


And this piece of log confirms it; the function I think is causing the crash (parse_preferences_for_user_files) is called immediately after write_state_file().

I have yet to figure out what "user files" are for. There isn't ANY kind of documentation about the feature, and no project seems to be using it.

I deleted QCN XML file and it popped right back up.

Bug found, fixed, and reported.

Found the purpose.

Erik  May 19 2003
    - added support for user-selected files to be included
        as part of an app_version.
        If there is an element of the form
            <app_file>
                <url>X</url>
                <open_name>Y</open_name>
            </app_file>
        in a user's project preferences,
        then for every APP_VERSION that is sent to the user,
        elements of the form
            <file_info>
                <name>X'</name>
                <url>X</url>
            </file_info>
            ... and in the <app_version> element
            <file_ref>
                <file_name>X'</file_name>
                <open_name>Y</open_name>
            </file_ref>
        are added to the app version's XML description,
        where X' is an escaped version of X.
        This can be used (for example) to allow applications to
        have user-specified images in their graphics

David  2 Nov 2003
    - Changed the way that user-supplied files (e.g. logos and images) work.
        OLD WAY: (see checkin by "Erik", May 19 2003)
            the scheduling server scans the user's project prefs
            and inserts <file_info> and <file_ref> elements
            into the <app_version> element,
            making it look like the user-supplied files are associated
            with the app.
            This necessitated the slightly kludgy "optional"
            attribute of FILE_INFO, so that slow-downloading
            user-supplied files wouldn't defer work indefinitely.
        NEW WAY:
            The scheduling server is not involved.
            PROJECT now has list "user_files" of FILE_REFS
            FILE_INFO now has an attribute "is_user"file"
            - When parse project prefs from account file,
                or when get new project preferences from server,
                convert <app_file> elements to entries in project.user_files
            - new function ACTIVE_TASK::link_user_files() makes links
                from slot dir to all user files that are present
            - when the download of a user file completes,
                tell running apps to reread prefs
                (they'll find the user file now)
            - garbage collection reference-counts user files
            - got rid of "optional" mechanism
        With this change, user-supplied images in graphics are updated
        dynamically when the user edits prefs on web,
        then does "Get Preferences" in core client


SETI@Home uses this feature for the configurable screensaver background image. No other project uses it (since it's not documented).

Message 19371 - Posted: 9 Aug 2008, 7:12:11 UTC - in response to Message 19367.  

I deleted QCN XML file and it popped right back up.

Yup, here too. Deleted the 66KB QCN account_*.xml file, installed BOINC 6.2.16 and it's happily running, as a service.

So anyone with the same problem, check for an account_*.xml file that is over 64KB in size and delete it. That will fix your BOINC.

Thanks Nick.

Looks like it was the list of historical earthquakes getting too long. Good work on the diagnosis and fix. I didn't bother looking at it any further once I'd got my system running again...

Yup, deleting QCN account file fixed it for me as well. Good work everybody.

removal of everything from the first quake-tag to the last quake end-tag (those tahs included) solved it

In order to be able to see the full list of quakes, I've solved it by shortening few "addresses", like "Andreanof Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska" to "Andr. Isl., Aleut. Isl., Alaska", thus getting the file size to some 63 kB.

I suppose QCN server anyway destroyed my full list with the next trickle. But BOINC at least survived.

Thanks for the good investigation.

Since a few weeks boinc.exe crashes all the time. Earlier this week I've upgraded to boinc 6.2.16 for windows_intelx86 with no improvement.
I've got it running on two desktops both with windows XP sp3
On one pc I've got it running again after repeatedly rebooting Windows and/or restarting boinc.exe. But it might crash again as it did numerous times before.

But on my other (new) pc boinc.exe keeps crashing. This is the command window output I could intercept.

Exiting...


I don't use QCN and I don't have a large account_*.xml file (all about 4 kb)
So the suggested solutions don't work for me.

This is the part that BOINC crashes on. This FAQ shows you possible causes.

I've reduced the error report to the bits I think are relevant.

First off, the message trace shows that 2 uploads and a scheduler request are started just after the benchmarks start running.

This shows that BOINC crashed in the function libcurl!multi_getsock(). The relevant version of the source file is here, and the line number (757) points towards an invalid easy or easy->easy_handle pointer. There's no validation of either of those in that function or the one it's called from, which suggests memory corruption to me. Check the size of C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\http_temp_*. If the file is larger than 4kB you've been hit by Trac Ticket 705. Even though that ticket was fixed 5 days before BOINC 6.2.16 was built and its milestone is set to 6.2 the fix has only been applied to 6.3.

If that is the problem you'll need to check the contents of that file to work out what the networking problem is. If it isn't it's pointing towards a conflict between benchmarks and network operations.

In either case you're probably going to have to manually disable networking before you start BOINC (by editing C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\client_state.xml and changing the network state line near the end of the file to <user_network_request>3</user_network_request>) to work around the problem.

Message 19651 - Posted: 21 Aug 2008, 7:37:28 UTC

Today I uninstalled BOINC on one of my work pc's. Deleted all folder and files related to BOINC and started with a fresh install.
When adding a project using the wizard I first got the 'unavailable' error, because I forgot the add the http proxy. After I've added that, I got the 'temporarily unavailable error', but for every project. So that got me thinking.
I went back to the proxy settings and added my windows domain username and password and it worked again.

So I went back to my other work pc, opened the client_state.xml and added the correct settings to the proxy tag and now the pc is working as well.

So the problem was indeed with the network connection. A more descriptive error message saying something about authentication would be better, in stead of the Access Violation

Just to let people know who are facing the same troubles.
