"Too Many Exits" is a system overload sign. You can prevent this by e.g. setting the "While processor usage is less than 75%" for example and select the "Run based on preferences" in the BOINC Manager advanced view Activity menu. If it still occurs, then lower the percentage, which per WCG is default 50% (Berkeley has this set at 25% default). Each time the system is too busy, BOINC will be paused for at least 10 seconds or however long the non-BOINC load remains above the set percent. Experiment what works best.

Such faah task result is rare in my records, but I understand now what happened and will be able to handle it if the same problem becomes frequent. Thanks SekeRob.

OK, one note to add: In web or local preferences set the "Leave application in memory when suspended/preempted" [LAIM]. This prevents the unloading of the science app when it is paused, but only do that when there is enough RAM [FAAH uses about 128MB, peak some 160MB]. Default, pause / resumes cause the science to restart from the last checkpoint i.e. can loose you progress and also records one of those ''exits'' of which there are a limited number allowed ''without'' the task making progress [100], before the task aborts.
