I have a linux computer running scientific linux attached to this project(host 1526762). Recently I had at least 2 workunits that appeared to be 'stuck'. They each ran for over 40 hours and the percentage was stuck somewhere between 60% and 75%. I had to manually abort them.

Here is one of them: wuid 450705292. The interesting thing is that the CPU time is only reported as 19,736.05 seconds. When I checked the computer the particular core of the cpu that the WU was assigned to was completely idle.

Since I have that happen twice, and I only check on this computer every few weeks I aborted the rest of the Rosetta workunits and switched it to another project (workd community grid) for now.

Normally you can also just exit Boinc itself and then restart it and the unit will resume normal crunching.
