--- End code ---
Seems benign though as most results have validated. Is there any particular reason for this error being reported and app seemingly still operating OK?

Can anybody comment on the error above? I don't think I've got any results without this 'error' while almost all of them validated OK. It's annoying to see thousands of lines of error while meaningful information gets truncated.

Yah I found that was the problem - NICE is not playing nice at all ;D
Upgraded the driver and also used crunch3r cuda3 bins as the cuda2.2 doesn't have raised priority.
BTW, I have 1 rig that doesn't raised priority at system start-up (I also set a 20sec delay but doesn't work). I have to manually restart boinc so setiathome-CUDA_3.0_6.09.x86_64_vlarkill will be raised. My other rigs works perfectly fine though.

I solved the issue. Apparently, setiathome-CUDA_3.0_6.09.x86_64_vlarkill doesn't raise the priority if boinc is run by user "boinc" - it needs admin privilege. any thoughts?
Raistmer:
Maybe boinc user needs right to increase process priority ?

Isn't it giving boinc user right to increase process priority the same as root? or is there a specific group that I need to add boinc to?
Raistmer:
Root has many other rights too.
Hope linux has such conception as particular rights assignment for different users/groups.
In windows right assignment can be pretty granular.
