Hello Cris,

I am running BOINCManager 5.4.9 on a new Intel iMac running Mac OS X
10.4.7, and have observed that the SETI@home application within BOINC
crashes quite frequently. I am also running Einstein@home on the same
machine and it never ever crashes.

When SETI@home crashes, BOINCManager always gets it running again, and my
workunits do get completed.

I haven't a clue how to interpret all these crash logs I've gotten, but
they all look quite similar. Does anyone know who handles the Mac
programming at S@h? I'd like to see if we can get this issue resolved.

Can you please post some of the <stderr> outputs from the aborted WUs.
You can see the stderr log via the SETI Web Sitte / Your Account /
Computers on this account / select Results (from the affected system) /
 Result ID.

Any other MacIntel users out there getting these frequent crashes?

Are there any other BOINC projects beside the ones I mentioned that
support the MacIntel Screensaver PrefPane?

SIMAP has a Mac Intel application, too.
Some other projects (Predictor, Rosetta, SZTAKI, WCG) has binaries for
Mac PPC which should run in the rosetta emulation.

At the boinc wiki is a list of the different projects with a good
describtion and there system requirements :
