Hi,

I'm running the BOINC client on a dual 466MHz Celeron system that has previously been very happy using the original setiathome command line process. I'm not convinced that the whole BOINC system is working correctly. I'm seeing the following quite a lot for climateprediction work units:

And the following is what happens for the new Setiathome:

What is going on here? As I said before, its a twin Celeron 466MHz system. It has 384MB RAM, which, bearing in mind its not running any X-Windows, should probably be enough. Its running Slackware 8.0 with kernel 2.4.5.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.
