Topic: Poclbm giving strange error -- my hardware, or Poclbm? (Read 2136 times)

Here's the bugfix:
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=1334.msg380407#msg380407

Once again Luke Jr. saves the day.

It is happening to me but on one machine out of 3...... what's up?

Having the same issues here.

An update --

I switch to Hashkill, and the cards are mining OK -- the shares are getting to the pool and everything.

Why would Poclbm stop working all the sudden? I deleted the entire folder and re-downloaded the latest version.

Anyone else get this?

I'm using today's version of Poclbm, from the GIT repository (Linux 64-bit).

Every time it should be submitting a share, I get the above error.

I tried BTCguild, and Deepbit.

Now I *did* just have a nasty power surge here, it took out my UPS -- but my machine seems OK. Did one of my cards get fried?
