Be sure to edit your Sudoku preferences to "Run test applications? Yes" or you won't get work from this alpha project!

This might be a really dumb idea!

running (uploading result? reporting result?) sudodu, BOINC terminated unexpectedly, twice
shutting off preference for test applications, then updating sudoku from BOINC, seemed to have no effect
resetting project merely destroyed and redownloaded 50 wu
no new tasks, resetting, same thing--50 wu making a u-turn

Finally, I detached from this project. it's definitely alpha, and I recommend running it only on isolated boxes with no other BOINC projects.

I have credits from it, seems like the wu locks up at 11.5% for a while but will finish

Mine died. CPU usage went to nearly nothing, BOINC service exited unexpectedly, memory usage was strange, like nothing was freed.

By me...says: "If this project were a chat user on irc, it would be kicked for flooding.

So...

/kick sudoku (flood)"

50 wu were downloaded with a 25-hour deadline and 50-second estimated process time each. So far, so good.

Results: 3 declared redundant and recalled by system. 47 not completed on time.

Most got to about 14% complete and ran with both elapsed time and time remaining increasing together; with 50 wu, the box did little else all day.

/kick sudoku
