einstein crashes or hangs

(moderation:
Boinc should be switching programs (with SAH) every hour, but sometimes after a few hours it'll just stop on einstein and leave it running but with almost no CPU usage, so it's not computing anything but it won't let go and won't let SAH run like it should. Then other times it repeatedly crashes giving me "Result exited with zero status but no 'finished' file" errors, many many times, I reset the project and it just does it over and over again, it seems to have stopped crashing for now, but it may hang next time around so it's not really all that good...
einstein crashes or hangs

Just ignore those 'exited with zero status' messages. The client will normally restart after them automatically.

This first part you're seeing here is the same problem a few other people are having also. It has been reported into the boinc bug database, but thus far there have been no comments or updates from the developers about it. I have a couple computers that wind up going idle like this almost every night and then just sit there idle until I restart them the next day - and then still have to be constantly restarted throughout the day to keep them running.

I'm seeing this too. I have Leave in memory, when suspending set to true (because climate prediction checkpoints and if it is dropped from memory you loose the calculations from the last checkpoint forward) Einstein 4.79 seems to not want to restart once it is suspended - bonic.exe (4.25) switched to Einstein but it makes no progress and eventually boinc switches to another project.

I think I'll just have to

I think I'll just have to stop doing einstein until the application is fixed, having to restart the boinc client every few hours kinda defeats the whole purpose of running in the background...
Once the app is fixed (or a usable workaround is found, like the boinc client killing bad apps) I'll be more than happy to start using it again...

Unfortunately, it looks like I may be doing the same thing soon. I have 2 dual boot system that I've just given up and booted into windows so they can keep running, but I'm constantly having to break and restart boinc on a couple others that aren't dual boot. Those 2 are ultimately spending more time sitting idle than working - if I drop einstein from them, at least they can get their work done for the other projects.

Apparently if you turn off

Apparently if you turn off "leave in memory" it'll work, apparently einstein doesn't like that... which is a shame since it's a nice feature.
anyone know where to submit a bug report?

It's already been reported as a bug (http://bbugs.axpr.net/).
As far as turning off "leave in memory", I also run cpdn, which wants "leave in memory" turned on.
