Windows only, BOINC version 7.8.2 only? And it's boinc_graphics_make_shmem() that fails?
If it's 7.8.2 it looks like yet another case of using dirty slot directories. The shared memory segment's name that is really used contains the number of the slot directory. If the segment already exists boinc_graphics_make_shmem() fails. The segment might still be open in graphics app for the previous task using the slot directory. The graphics app probably has some file open in the slot directory, like stderr, and that prevented previous client versions from using the slot directory. If it's 7.8.2 you'll just have to tell everyone to skip that version. -Juha _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu https://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
