Hello,

I've seen this on 7.1.1 as well. The machine was attached to a mix of CPU only 
and GPU
projects. It ran normally for a long time but later I switched to the boinc 
manager and
found it looping. It skipped the CPU only projects and only looped through the 
4 GPU
projects asking for 0 seconds of CPU and 0 seconds of GPU work. I stopped and 
restarted
boinc to get it to stop looping asking for 0 seconds of work. It only happened 
that one
time.
