I'll look at this now; I was swamped earlier.

Hi all,

I’m not sure if this is the right list to use but thought I’d mention it here.  
 I tried to contact David Anderson via email but have not heard back.

I was wondering if anyone has random seg fault issues with their android apps 
for their BOINC projects.  Our Rosetta@home android application had pretty bad 
success rates and I found that the main cause was the use of “setitimer” in the 
“start_worker_signals” function in the boinc_api.cpp code.  Our Rosetta app 
runs stable without the BOINC api, but when using the default api, it crashed 
randomly.

I developed a workaround which avoids “setitimer" in the api code and our app 
is stable with the modified BOINC api and is now in production for our Rosetta@home 
project.  Our success rates for android arm have gone from 40-60% to 95%.

I’m wondering if this is just a Rosetta application induced bug (it’s a pretty 
substantial scientific app) or a general android issue.

Thanks,

David Kim
