I have a small app that checks a time server on the internet (clock.psu.edu:123) and syncs the time on one computer every 2 hours. Today something happened and it set the date to Jan 2032, then 2 hours later set it back to the correct time. I understand BOINC failing to fetch work when the date went beyond the website cert expiration date, but when the time was corrected it went to

Suspending computation - running CPU benchmarks

and never came back from that... I found it like that about 3 hours later and had to restart BOINC to get it to start crunching again.

I've disabled the time app and will sync the time manually when I see it's off... just wondered why BOINC would go into the benchmarks check and never finish (well, not finish them within 3+ hours, anyway).
