Folding Forum

This is now happening with every WU I run - same kind of error:

All I can do is confirm that my RAM is good (just ran memtest to check). Is it just people in OSX having problems here? I note that me and Aardvark are both running 10.6.2.

Well, I'm glad to know it's not just me.

Just your basic dual core iMac, no cheese, hold the overclocking. I've checked the memory, but will check it again. In the meantime, either there are some rogue WUs out there suddenly, or it's the fahcore_a3 that's choking. All was working fine on the folding front until the fahcore_a3 got updated. ...

...and another one - Project: 6015 (Run 0, Clone 30, Gen 108) I deleted the fahcores as well this time, hence the new download. I'm suggesting there may be a problem with the fahcore_a3 itself here: this problem began to appear only after the most recent update to the fahcore_a3 a couple of weeks ag...

Another one bites the dust :( - Project: 6015 (Run 0, Clone 8, Gen 109) I got no reply from Kasson about the last one yet, by the way.

Smart. I did actually start to muse (in a half-awake sort of way) on why the WU's I was getting all seemed to be around the same size :), but I had no reason to suspect it was the same one over and over. This makes me feel better about the ones that crashed (in my other thread) after I hit ctrl-c - ...

Now running with a fresh WU, and have PM'd Kasson.

Oh, I didn't realise it was downloading me the same WU over and over again. That's a bit weird. I'll archive my current work files and reset the system as you suggest, and PM Kasson.

...and again. There's no point running any more of these until it's clear why they're not working now.

What's happening here? This is 2x in a row now over the last couple of hours, fahcore3 runs, gets to around 2% and then bails out with this same error. Is this a bug in the WU's themselves? Or in the new fahcore3? I see the /documentation/errors says (helpfully) that my system is blowing up :?. Can ...
