Warning: SMP Beta Projects 7650 - 7653

[Tobit]

Warning to those running the -beta flag on SMP clients.

New beta projects p7650 - 7653 were re-released to beta testing earlier today. I was just assigned one on one of my Linux boxen and it fails instantly. Worse yet, it tries to re-run the same unit over and over again despite safeguards set in place with the new v7 client.

I've reported this on FF, hopefully the developer will notice soon. At this time, I am not sure if the same behavior exists on Windows or if this is just a Linux problem.

Ok, the developer has acknowledged the problem with these units and pulling the plug.

Ahhh shoot. Thanks for the report Tobit. These WUs have really (1) stretched my imagination and (2) revealed a lot of stuff we need to do to improve our testing procedures. We're actively working on the latter, thanks BetaTeam for sticking with it on these units.

Good news on at least one front, even a shit ton of borked units have helped in some way

Apparently, the developer has NOT turned off the assignment of these units yet. I just got back from a doctors appointment and found one of my SMP clients hung on one for the past 4 hours. I just sent the developer an email, this time I have captured the working directory of the bad unit to send in for review.
