I have already posted it in Message 57094
One of my computers gets compute errors because of filenames that are too long to handle for WinXP. As you can see in the log file the filename is extremly long. As far as I know WinXP can only handle 255 characters including path.


# cpu_run_time_pref: 7200
WARNING! attempt to create gzipped file ../../projects/boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta/loopbuild_minimalist_core_control_standardloopfile2_homo_bench_looprelax_cheat_chunk_control_standard_loopfiles_t293__olange_IGNORE_THE_REST_2GPYA_5_4819_44_0_0 failed.

The application is trying to create a gzip file which fails. OTHER WU WITH SHORTER FILENAMES DO WORK FLAWLESSLY! It has something to do with the length! Do we really need filenames that long??

Because of this error credits are not granted. Therefore I have decided to stop participating until this error is resolved and the missing credits are granted.

WU affected:
