Hi!

For years I have always run the latest version of BOINC Manager on my XP machine without problems. However, for the first time, I have had one with 6.10.0.

My podcatching software (from www.podcastready.com), which has not changed in over a year, started giving serious problems. Most times it did not start or hung - other times it crashed. Only after much patience and luck would it finally run to completion, or run sufficiently before hanging to bring down the podcasts I wanted.

It took me a while to suspect BOINC, but since going back to 6.6.36 I have had no problems.

No other programs had any issues - only the podcatcher - and it was definitely going back to BOINC 6.6.36 that solved the problem. One clue - the podcatcher improved (crashed less often)) if I first "snoozed" BOINC 6.10.0.

Thanks!
