New exponents are crashing the client
I have a few boxes that returned completed results today. But when the client starts work on the new downloaded exponent, the client will always crash.
I tried removing the service install and the -m, -s switches and try to start up the client manually, but it still crashed.
I also tried uninstalling the client and reinstalling it in a different directory, but the problem still persisted. It is able to download a new exponent, but it will always crash when it starts working on the exponent.
As a last resort, I copied a work in progress from 1 of my other machines and edited the registry accordingly. Restarted the client and the client started crunching away. So the problem seems to be bad WUs being handed out.
So far I have 4 boxes that have stopped crunching SoB and at least 2 other teammates are experiencing the same problem.
All my boxes are running on WinXP. They have been ruuning the client for the past month with no problems until today.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Anybody knows what is going on?
