I had "keeps running when computer is in use" problem last night with an Einstein CUDA app, so it's clear that this isn't restricted to SETI@home. There has to be a BOINC issue or some common flaw with how exiting is handled.
I'm wondering is there's some way that writing a checkpoint (or reporting a checkpoint) is going wrong. I assume that even GPU apps would suspend rather than exit if there has been no checkpoint since it was started? Of course in this case it's not suspending either, it's continuing to run. David, any comments?
