Greetings all - and Good Morning!!

I get a message that says "error" (that's all) when running benchmarks.

I have three boxes on the same account.
The box with the error is an *old* Gateway with only 256 meg of memory (its max).
I'm running Debian Linux with their integrated version of the boinc manager - version 6.2.14

(The other, newer boxes have 2 ghz clocks - and one is a dual processor.)

Here is a clip from the debug/messages:

Should I just ignore this?

Thanks, Jay

This usually happens when something else is intensively using the CPU while you or BOINC runs the benchmarks. So make sure that there's nothing else using the CPU.
