Computation Error

Hi,
All my recent Einstein@Home tasks ended - shortly before being finished - with computation errors. I don't know about the others, but the last one was a Gravitational Wave S6 LineVeto search 1.13 (SSE2), and it cancelled after almost 9 hours.

You can check what specific error you ran into by going to your tasks page (http://einsteinathome.org/host/4197507/tasks and clicking on the TaskId of any of the erroneous tasks. E.g. http://einsteinathome.org/task/287503258.
You see you hit Incorrect function. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1)
Normally exit code 1 is the most difficult one to figure out. I know, I tried.
But in this context, it seems to be a side-effect of the 7.0.25 specific client. You'd do best to upgrade to .27 or .28 (see this post in the BOINC 7.0 change log thread for links to BOINC 7.0.27; the next post has links to 7.0.28), as these have extra detection for the exit code 1 errors and will try to give extra information on what threw it.

Recently I've also encountered spates of WU errors, some closing in to 90% completion before giving out errors. Below are some of the work units that error out:

Any ideas...?

Hmm...the error message in the log output of the app is this:
[pre]
[06:54:21][4524][ERROR] Couldn't open temporary checkpoint file: status.cpt.tmp (Operation timed out).
[/pre]
I'm not sure where in the filesystem on Macs BOINC will try to create this file. I don't think it is common on macs to have a separate partition for /tmp, so space seems unlikely to be problem, right??

in my case i have exit status 2 (0x2),Run time 69.07, CPU time 18.92, Validate state Invalid.., computation error with this message:

any suggestions what i should do.., i am running win7/64 boinc 7.0.28
