Even if there is limited space in the error message itself, a URL could be put in the error message so that someone could find a web page discussing the message. These could be compressed by tinyurl or similar.

Then on August 8, 2012 he promulgated: "SETI@home Beta Test: You may resume using anonymous platform applications is SETI beta." So, returned the app_info.xml file that had been in the ..\projects\setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu_beta to that folder, made sure every file mentioned in the app_info.xml file was in the setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu_beta directory, and restarted Boinc. Boinc erased all (hundreds) of Astropulse work units and printed this message dozens of times in the Event Log: 09-Aug-2012 10:06:42 [SETI@home Beta Test] [sched_op] Reason: Unrecoverable error for task 05oc11al.8626.23417.12.14.170_1 ( - exit code -1073741515 (0xc0000135)) Two questions: 1. Virtually every textbook ever written in Computer Science says that error messages should tell the user exactly what is wrong and how to fix it. All the above error message tells is how to convert -1073741515 decimal to hexadecimal. Thanks, but I already knew that. What is the source of the error exit code -1073741515 (0xc0000135) is referring to and how do I fix it? 2. Where is the documentation for app_info.xml? All a search on "app_info.xml" returns is tens of thousands of questions about the file.
