I was pausing some sf3 work (3 WU´s) and after restart they just started from 0%, like they ignore there checkpoint. (See code, cp disabled???)
Those units already run for >1hrs and I decided to abort them in order to switch to an other project for a while. Also the runtime seems to be resetted.

Why is he starting the BOINC runtime Debugger? There is no need, bcs "203 (0x000000CB) EXIT_ABORTED_VIA_GUI"

<stderr_txt>
Checkpoint Flag = 0.
Cvec Starting Index = 0.

It's possible that it never got to the point in the code where it checkpoints.

He was at N2=16 and decided to restart the WU. Maybe its bcs my BOINC manager is not up-to-date...

Yeah, it looks like there may have been a problem with your system or the BOINC manager. The next computer that picked up that WU finished it successfully and the stderr shows check pointing working as expected.

Yes. Now I upgraded the manager, after I got the same problem on amicable numbers.
Now it should work, i´ll be back in a few days.

Works fine now. :)

This comeback will be sadly very short, since I have my own sub project running on yoyo@home.
