I have been getting a strange error pattern in the last few days (since
8 Aug).  Although most of the time everything works OK I have 4 times
had a work unit fail with exit code 253.  This was followed by every
work unit in my cache being started in turn and immediately failing with
code 250, following which the cache refills and things work correctly
again.

Whatever the cause of the error 253, the error 250s appear spurious.

I am using Linux, Boinc 4.43, and Seti 4.02.

(Are the exit codes defined anywhere?)

Yes they are here:

BUT they I cannot find them by number only the actual error that goes
with it.
