Hello,

I just encountered an "interesting" situation when I checked my current workload using the BOINC Mgr. I am running a hyperthreaded 3.2Ghz Pentium with W2K and BOINC Mgr 5.4.9. When I brought up the TASK screen to see what work was running, three projects were accumulating time. The SETI@HOME task was marked as PREEMPTED while the other two were RUNNING. I tried suspending the SETI task but it continued to accumulate time. After resuming the task, I EXIT'ed BOINC Mgr. and restarted. The SETI task promptly started to UPLOAD and then transitioned to READY TO REPORT. The messaging appeared as follows after the restart:

06/05/06 21:07:03|SETI@home|Resuming task 03mr99ab.9678.30961.211072.3.61_1 using setiathome_enhanced version 515

What I see for the result (stderr) is:

<core_client_version>5.4.9</core_client_version>

SETI@Home Informational message -9 result_overflow

</stderr_txt>

I'm starting with the folks at BOINC since I really don't think that Mgr. should be allowing time to accumulate once a project is marked as PREEMPTED. I'm not sure whether this is a BOINC issue or SETI Enhanced didn't do it's part properly.
