Obviously, this is a problem with project code but I am trying to get a handle on what is happening.

Occasionally a bitcoin utopia GPU task gets hung at 99 or 100 % and runs for hours instead of seconds. This can be cleared up by using BM to pause the GPU or using
    boinccmd --set_gpu_mode never 10

as suggested here both restarting the task. However, I have other GPU projects enabled on this system and if they had been given a time slice as is usual, the restart (BCU does not checkpoint) should have cleared the bitcoin task for me. Why didnt they get a slice? I plan on bringing this problem up at the project forum.
