Hi,

I don't have the time right now to investigate this as I originally
wanted to. So here is the problem.
A user of RNAWorld is running two almost identical PCs with different
VirtualBox versions. One PC is misbehaving using VB 4.3.6 one is running
fine with VB 4.2.16. He has 7 tasks on each and restarts the first on a
regular basis because of a memory issue with VB. The second computer was
restarted two days ago and suddenly all tasks failed with an error. It
turns out the server marked those tasks as error (outcome set to 7)
because of a CPID change it detected:

scheduler.log:2014-02-08 15:56:35.4872 [PID=5349 ] [CRITICAL]
[HOST#27812] [RESULT#14923722] [WU#6330820] changed CPID: marking
in-progress result
cmsvm2_GA-p[e30-50MB_Lin64f]_1_Oryza-sativa-Indica-Group_CM000129.lin.EMBL_RF00028_Intron_gpI_1330438623_68628_27
as client error!

Because I had the users hosts under surveillance I can only say that the
hostid didn't change and there are no such messages for the other host
that was regularly restarted. They are both running BOINC 7.2.33

So far another user mentioned that a running task on his computer was
canceled by the server. This is the client log:

Dim 9 fév 22:21:07 2014 | RNA World | Not requesting tasks: don't need

Looking on the server I got his:
scheduler.log:2014-02-09 20:32:53.4100 [PID=3958 ] [CRITICAL]
[HOST#28472] [RESULT#14922247] [WU#6330891] changed CPID: marking
in-progress result

as client error!

I think this is some kind of security thing but if the task is still
running on the host this shouldn't happen especially not after 800h of
processing. All times are CET.
