[Alien952]

Hi,
one of our members just noticed this in his dfGUI. It doesn't show up in the Stats so does anyone know what went wrong or have an explanation/idea?
Possible Bug/Error ?

At the start of every generation the Best Energy is set to 10000000.000 and stays that way until the 1st structure is completed. I think dfGUI caught it at that moment and displays the last 5 characters. It's not a bug in the client.

OK.........now it looks like an error and not a bug

he posted the error.log and here it is:




========================[ Jul 29, 2003 3:17 PM ]========================
ERROR: [001.009] {foldtrajlite2.c, line 5552} Error occured while aligning structures
ERROR: [001.023] {rotate.c, line 641} Invalid PMMD given to GetRMSD
ERROR: [001.010] {foldtrajlite2.c, line 5556} Abnormally small RMSD: 0.000000 (96 1 1)

I guess that it didn't like the fact that it found a small rms! I wonder if anyone REALLY hit 0, whether it would be believed or not?!!

If the GUI sees a 100000.000 value it should handle it ok. If anything, the last part of the number will be cut off and not the first.

Interesting error.log, never saw that one before.

This is the following error from the same set of generations on our guys box.

We have seen this message before though it is rare. We believe it is caused by either corrupt data files (specifically native.val) or faulty RAM, but cannot prove this. It is not likely a program bug in this case or everyone would get it.

[tpdooley]

Any recommendations on how to prove which of the two it is? Other than running testmem86?

I added a bit of extra error messages for the next version so if it happens again, we'll have a bit more info about exactly what is wrong. To check the native.val though, you could try redownloading the client and diff the native.val from a fresh download with the possibly corrupt one. If they are different, the file got fried somehow. To compare, assume one is in c:\dir1 and the other in c:\dir2, type the following at a DOS prompt (replacing dir1 and dir2 with their actual locations:

fc /b c:\dir1\native.val c:\dir2\native.val

It will tell you if the files are the same.
