For the third time in 3 weeks a BOINC client crashed due to a bad reply from WCG to a client request.
This happened never before. It looks like that this is introduced with the new server software. I reported this to the BOINC developers the first time it occurs 23-Apr-2012 14:38:19 [World Community Grid] Requesting new tasks for CPU and NVIDIA 23-Apr-2012 14:38:24 [World Community Grid] No close tag in scheduler reply BOINC crash Report: Client crash after "No close tag in scheduler reply" Today the third time: 14-May-2012 10:29:32 [World Community Grid] Reporting 1 completed tasks, not requesting new tasks 14-May-2012 10:29:36 [World Community Grid] No close tag in scheduler reply 14-May-2012 11:00:30 [---] Starting BOINC client version 6.12.34 for windows_x86_64 Starting BOINC Manager makes the client restart. The last view lines of the reply: </project_files> </scheduler_reply> Content-type: text/plain Meanwhile this problem should be solved in BOINC client version 7.0.27, but almost all WCG participants are using older or even ancient clients. |

Thanks for reporting that, CP. Have forwarding this on to the techs blackboard, with emphasis.
Hope there was also a feedback loop started from developers to WCG on this possibly server 700 related issue. --//-- |

I'm in discussions with David on this one. There is a line that I can remove that eliminates the trailing 'Content-type: text/plain' line but I waiting to here back from him since the in-line comments indicates that the line is required.
----------------------------------------[edit] Actually, I've gone ahead and updated production to remove that line. I didn't find any issues testing the change and it will fix this issue for you. Please let me know if this resolve the issue for you. [Edit 1 times, last edit by knreed at May 14, 2012 1:18:10 PM] |

Please let me know if this resolve the issue for you. Hello Kevin, Adding: the 3 crashes were on different systems (1 BOINC 7.0.25 and 2 BOINC 6.12.34) Can you confirm that that trailing wasn't there in the former server software? The strange thing for me is: why is BOINC crashing 'only' 3 times in 3 weeks because of that, where I received thousands sched_replies from WCG on several machines. Therefore it will be hard to say the problem is resolved. I will keep running client versions sometimes crashing because of 'No close tag' and not upgrade to 7.0.27 on my machines (-1) for several weeks. |

Hello Kevin,
----------------------------------------This morning I had a BOINC client (v6.12.34) crash again. The last line in the stdoutdae.txt: 14-Jun-2012 07:21:36 [World Community Grid] No close tag in scheduler reply The end of sched_reply_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml: <file_ref> <file_name>hcc1_05_v01.gif</file_name> <open_name>slideshow_hcc1_05</open_name> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>hcc1_06_v01.gif</file_name> <open_name>slideshow_hcc1_06</open_name> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>hfcc_00  Edit: On a second machine (also 6.12.34) it happened too: 14-Jun-2012 08:45:00 [World Community Grid] No close tag in scheduler reply In this case BOINC restarted (because boincmgr was running, I suppose) After the restart all WCG png's and gif's were re-downloaded. Edit2: Also a third machine suffered of the crashed BOINC-application due to this close tag error. After manual BOINC restart I noticed before the download of all png's and gif's: World Community Grid 14-jun 16:11:17 [error] project file refers to non-existent I never had this experience before WCG's server update and also never with other BOINC-projects.
