I had started this thread on SETI main n/c forum and it was suggested that I report it over here. It seems to have been a one time thing since the situation has not happened again.

You were advised by Joe Segur to report this to the BOINC developers, since you are using a development version. These message boards are frequented by volunteers, not by the developers.

Furthermore, on all the BOINC development versions, I post the reminder of:
Report any problems you get with it to the Alpha email list. This list needs registration. When sending logs or other attachments, make sure to CC David, Rom, or Charlie separately, since the email list will drop attachments!

Reporting bugs on this forum or any project's forum isn't very productive as the developers simply do not have time to scour through all forums looking for posts with your bug reports in them. While it may happen that we - other volunteers - forward your problem to them, history has shown it is quite difficult being the middle man in this when more information is needed from you. Hence why it's better for all concerned that you report the problem directly to the developers, who will come back directly to you when they need more information or better logs or to tell you that they've checked in a fix for the specific problem.

When you do post to the BOINC Alpha email list, post about your problem in full. Don't post a link to the thread and tell the developers to go look there, because they won't and your problem will then just be ignored.
