Unrecoverable error - There are no child processes to wait for.

(moderation:
There should be a reason given following the "No work from project" message.
From your machine eight results ticked in a minute apart after the first at 6:58 UTC, all with the same error. I think you eceeded your daily WU quota of 10/cpu, so you just have to wait.
I haven't seen this error message on Windows yet, you may take a look at the thread discussing this on Mac here.
I suggest you exit BOINC and maybe restart your computer, then wait for work from the project and see if it fails the same way.

> not sending work - last RPC too recent
This just means that the last contact has been too recent - it should wait a little longer (than before) and then contact the server again, at least with a different outcome (message)...
> now daily quota of 8 WU exceeded
Oops - ok, so somebody set this to 8 now...

You can't. It's a project setting on the server side that should keep buggy machines from trashing arbitrary amounts of Results.

BillyG, the reason your machine is running up against the daily quota is that it's not completing the work correctly. So it's generating errors on all the work. However the good news is that for a while your machine WAS generating successful results. I suggest you review your results on the 'Your Account' page. Did you change anything in your system setup that might explain why suddenly all the jobs started to fail?
