Norton antivirus looks like it could be a cause, see the \'crashes and other problems\' README posting in the following forum.

You\'ll need to add the Boinc folder to *both* of Norton\'s exclusion lists, so that it doesn\'t scan the Boinc folder (and lock the files while Boinc is trying to use them).

What was just before the restarting task bit? Was that when Boinc Boinc was started?

You\'ve had one of these : (which I\'ve never seen before, disk problems?)

<core_client_version>5.8.16</core_client_version>

And the rest were these (all crashed quite quickly):

Sorry, too many model crashes! :-(

I have a few questions...

* Which antivirus do you use? Sophos can be a problem.
* Do you run anything which takes 100% of CPU time for a long while? (i.e., games, video encoding, ...?)
* Is there anything in the Boinc message log from the time that these crashed?

We think that exit code 22 \'hides\' the original error which is why there are so many of them (like the error code -161s used to).

Hi there,

i keep getting this three times in a row now- with different downloaded tasks:

24.04.2007 10:57:36|climateprediction.net|Reason: Unrecoverable error for result hadcm3inct_cksw_1920_160_05872300_1 (Das Gerät erkennt den Befehl nicht. (0x16) - exit code 22 (0x16))

I don´t know if it is the same error or another one, but it happens not long after the task started, maybe three to four hours.

Please help me,

Woods
