(Unknown error) - exit code -9 (0xfffffff7)

From BOINC Wiki

In general this error happens when the science application died before it got to the boinc_exit() code.
Known extra error codes around this error:

  • CUDA cuInit: Unknown error
  • Exception access violation.
  • Exception caught: Worker application apparently died prematurely.


On Seti an error -9 means that the science application was stopped because it found too much noise in the task. See SETI@Home_Informational_message_-9_result_overflow for more information.
