Anything?

It seems like a large number of hosts on DNA@Home are having workunits canceled 
by the BOINC client.  It doesn't seem like the rsc_fpops_est I've set is far 
off (the app scale and host scale are both around 1).

Is there anything I can tell our clients to do to stop them from terminating 
workunits?  Or maybe something on the server end?
