GNU/Linux S5R3 App 4.12 available for Beta test

Topic 13609
(moderation:
A new Linux App is available from our Beta Test page.
New over 4.09:
- Time-critical stuff has been compiled with gcc-4.0.3, which in our case (somewhat surprisingly) gave faster code than the previously used gcc-4.1.2.
- New signal handling: In 4.09 some times the generic BOINC signal handler caught some signals where we actually wanted our own to catch the signals. This has been fixed, so we hope to get more useful debugging information in case of an error.
- A change to the routine that writes the final output should fix the problem that occurred with a few workunits and the new checkpointing code.
Switching from results in progress of the 4.09 App should work (still showing the 4.09 number in the manager), tasks began with the 4.02 should (automatically) be finished with the original 4.02 App, new tasks should get assigned to 4.12.
Please test & report!

You should be able to derive the wall-clock times from the timestamps of the client messages if you kept them ("resuming computation task ..." ... "Computation finished task ...")

The bug that turned up in the Windows Beta is probably in the Linux version, too, though I doubt that it will actually show up. In principle it could happen almost every time when the App is (re)started.
I'll probably not be able to fix it today. Good to have this Beta Tests.

Yes, for our (time-critical) code gcc-4.2.1 behaves exactly like gcc-4.1.2.
