Feature request: show ressource-dept when vieuwing the project tab in de gui client (and an option to reset it from teh right-cliclk menu) per project.

I was wondering too ewhy seti keeps running 50% of the timne instead of CP all the time. Also noticed that every time I exit an restart boinc, it first does an hour of seti, then an hour of cp, then 1 hour seti again. ( from the preferences, sety only gets arround 5% and CP nearly 70% (rest for pirates and predictor, but they have no work at the moment)

I found out thgat in the client_stat.xml there was a huge value for the seti-project dept, an 0.0 for all other projects.
Don't know how that started, but I edited this to 0.0 for seti, and now wait and see how it develops.

ps. I also upgraded boinc from 4.05 to 4.09, today.

If that is the case, a sensible error-message should be there. If the application cannot read or write to disk for some reason, it should tell in the logs if this happens, and if that is not possible (because of drive-errors), a popup should be shown until acknowledged (at least when running in gui mode).

On the other hand disk-read/write errors are at a very low-level and already dealt with at the OS level, right. If there are bad-sectors involved, it's a case of a dying diskdrive and soon all other applications on your computer are affected.

Here too, but additional info:

Some fortran run-time error, just after this [stderr.txt]:
2004-09-02 22:41:28 [SETI@home] Preempting result 05my04ab.18320.2769.984656.164_1 (quit)
2004-09-02 22:41:28 [climateprediction.net] Starting result 05t9_100032544_0 using hadsm3 version 4.03


(BB code does not work, so copy/past the link)

System specs (also if needed):
Intel Celeron 734MHz (ok, it's just below the specs, but the fastest I have)
128Mb memory, Windows XP Sp1 Prof NL

After restarting boinc, got the same error again. killing the science app resulted in seti to tape over again, but immediately preemt again and climate-taking over, and failing:

So, this is not looking good. I think I'll detach temporary until this thing is solved, because now it downloads new work again and again but trows it away after only a few seconds.
