Guys, I have no idea, who is behind the SuperPi v1.6 (Fugger seems to know the autor: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?292870 ), but it is de facto standard SuperPi version. However it was confirmed, that both SuperPi versions crash when the 32M (surprisingly not 1M...) run took longer that 24 hours:

Since it was confirmed by many and there is no record of over 24h run of SuperPi EVER made on HWbot, therefore I suggest a fix/patch to fix this problem. A good example is the AMD K5 PR75 CPU. Even at 90MHz it canot finish the 32M run in time... so for benching old computers it is necessary to have a fix for this.

Who knows, who did the job with the mod 1.5/1.6 in first place and where I can get contact to that guy? (PM me when need) I believe that this bug should be fixed. Don't you agree that it is *LAME* to get a crash on stable machine just because of bug in SuperPi?

SuperPi hasn't been maintained for ages. I seriously doubt anyone's going to invest that much time to fix a problem affecting so few systems.

Indeed ;) I just reporting it to be known and that for Socket 7 and bellow (basically when you expect the 32M run will exceed 24h) is permisible to use the older version on HWbot, witch seems to not be affected by this bug, as I saw 33h run on 32M test:



Christian Ney -
It is allowed in the case of very old hardware to use the old version of SuperPi (the one that doesn't have ms)

If I remember correctly it was decided for everything older than socket 7 included.

Yet still I fancy the possibility of fix. I shuld dream, should not I?
