G'Day all

Does anyone know what causes this error?

It has started to bug me on one computer, and the only short term fixes are to reboot or reload Boinc over itself. seem to clear it for a few days before it comes back.

Thanks

I can't offer any thoughts on what might be causing the problem, but I can explain the sequence of events which lead to it happening.

The last thing an application does before terminating is call a BOINC API function which creates a "boinc_finish_called" file in its slot directory.

The BOINC core client detects the presence of that file and waits for the application process to end, killing it and generating that message if it is still running after 5 minutes.

Early testing may indicate that the problem child is iThena Computational as I have stopped it on that computer and it has not done it again, so far.

We will see as time goes by.
