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 I 'deflate' it at my end, or is this a problem caused by fah/fahcore/the WU?

All of your reports are for the same WU. There's a reasonable chance that it's a bad WU and you just need to get past it and move on to something else. Nobody has successfully returned that WU yet.
I'm going to change the title and move this topic to the forum where reports of possible bad WUs are found.
Both of these are the same WU. Seems like you have a reproducible error and that indicates a bad WU. Kasson may want a copy of the data files for this WU. I suggest that you PM him.
If you are not interested in that, you will need to force a new WU. You do that by deleting the work folder, the queue and reconfiguring the client to a different MachineID so that from the servers point of view it is a totally different install.
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.
If you don't get a "Thank you ..." in the log, then the server is not getting the WU back and then if your machine requests a new WU the server will look up the last wu that was assigned and give the same one back to you. It is designed that way to prevent people from cherry-picking WU's.
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 - as presumably, I ended up getting them again and completing them. Closure!

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 ago (or whenever it was). I remember running fah6 and seeing a new version of fahcore_a3 being downloaded, anyway, and it's only since then that these errors have started appearing.

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. Of course, it could be coincidence and maybe something's up with my mac, but I'm not having any other problems.
I am afraid that this problem is more serious than the discussion to date seems to accept. Over the past 7-10 days, I have experienced almost exactly the same failure. Approximately 4 or 5 a3core WUs have failed with the same failure report at the 1 to 7 % stage of folding. Some of the WUs turned into EUEs and the report on those should have been received by and noted by the Servers at Stanford at the time of return. They have not all been from the same Project. They have all been a3core Projects, however.
I am running these on a 1.83Ghz Mac Mini using OSX10.6.2. Nothing has changed recently with my rig other than the recent update of the a3core to v2.17 and I did recently go to OSX10.6.2 from OSX10.6.1. I have not posted anything about this problem because it will happen to two WUs in a row and then another a3core WU will show up and run without a problem. I am not into any overclocking. This is strictly a "stock" Mac Mini rig.
I am not including any logs in this post since I am sending this from a different machine and I don't have immediate access to the log files. If there is any interest in my providing those, let me know.
I sense this is more insidious and widespread than is being accepted. Someone should give it some "serious" attention.
You are not alone in this, and I suspect that there are others beyond you and I. I agree with your musings about it probably being associated with the new v2.17 a3core. Timing would just seem to point in that direction.
It is important that the word get distributed on this problem so others can chime in and display that "critical mass" necessary to get a significant PG response in time to save us from total collapse..... If moving the thread again seems to be indicated, I hope one of the Moderators will do the deed.
Don't let the issue die. Unless it does just go away on it's own.
. Can I 'deflate' it at my end, or is this a problem caused by fah/fahcore/the WU?
, 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 - as presumably, I ended up getting them again and completing them. Closure!
