BOINC reports and displays exit status on the user web, typically, in a 
negative 64-bit hexadecimal format. Today's trending number is

0xffffffffc000026b


as inĀ http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=4947399120:

Exit status -1073741205 (0xffffffffc000026b) Unknown error number


If you Google the 64-bit Hex version of the error number, the results you get 
are, exclusively, BOINC task pages or BOINC message board discussions, like 
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=79695. But Windows error 
numbers are conventionally represented as 32-bit positive Hex numbers, which 
leads us to a very simple understanding.

0xC000026BSTATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED_LOGOFF{DLL Initialization Failed}
The application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting 
down.

Unless other operating systems require 64-bit error numbers (or Microsoft has 
indicated an intention to switch to 64-bit numbers in the future), could we use 
a 32-bit reporting format, please?
