Like the EverReady Battery's this WU "H1_0368.4__0368.6_0.1_T00_Test02_0" on Host "5406" goes on & on & on & on & on & on past the 100% Mark. It's been running for over an hour now after showing 100% done.

I shut BOINC off in an attempt to get it to finish & all that accomplished was to drop both WU's back a 1/2 hour from where they were even though I have my Preferences set to Write to disk every 1 second ...

Anybody know of a way to pull the Plug on this WU short of reseting the project or do I just have to Crunch on it the rest of my Life ...???

It finally finished, it looks

It finally finished, it looks like it sat at 100% & took about an hour longer than normal not counting the 1/2 hour I lost when I shut BOINC down and restarted it again ...

Well, I've got one now too.

Well, I've got one now too. :(

This work unit is: H1_0344.4_0344.8_0.1_T00_Test02_4

Host# 6713

Although I am one of the those "stats nuts", until I hear otherwise, I'll continue to let it crunch in the interest of the good of the project.

Update: It's still on the same work unit.. still at 100%. :(

Workunits on this machine typically take a little over 7 hours to complete - this workunit has been going now for over 15 hours - the last 7 being at the 100% mark.

Any thoughts?

We are now testing the new 'coincidence' routine. This has reduced the run time of the coincidence step in the worst-case tests from about six hours to four minutes, and memory use by a significant factor. If all goes well, new applications should be available this week...

So, I guess, the new app isn't out yet.

I read over the thread and

I read over the thread and figured I'd try and upgrade from 4.19 to 4.62 so that I could suspend/abort the workunit and result.. that effectively fixed my problem - thank you!

Now I can get this machine back to production. :)
