I have encountered an unknown number of problems this night. On my first Linux computers was a Predictor@home workunit running, when Boinc started sixtrack. Even though Boinc claimed to pause P@H the mfold-client continued to run. The CPU-Time of the Predictor WU was reset to zero, the progress continued at the same percentage.
My second Linux machine had a paused Predictor WU with about an hour CPU-Time, when Boinc paused Einstein to start a LHC WU. Again the CPU-Time of the Predictor WU was reset to zero. And now the CPU-time used by the sixtrack-program ist added to the Predictor WU.

Software Versions:
Boinc: 4.27
Sixtrack: 4.63
mfoldB125: 4.27

1. Computer: Knoppix 3.4, Kernel 2.4.26
2. Computer: Fedora Core 3, Kernel: 2.6.10-1.770_FC3

Try to reset the lhc@home project.
Make sure you get version 4.66 of sixtrack.

I got sixtrack 4.66 now, but it also got mixed up with mfold. It went even so far as to Boinc claiming to have P@H running and counting up the CPU-time, but in the process list the running process was sixtrack. and now my mfold WUs end with "process got signal 6".
