In the output from my first successful result, from version 5.63, SEARCH_PAIRINGS_-1dhn_-round2_1976_120 I see:

Rosetta score is stuck or going too long. Watchdog is ending the run!
CPU time: 14813 seconds. Greater than 4X preferred time: 3600 seconds

Does this mean I should increase my preferred run-length? (At the moment I’ve left the project preferences at their default settings.) BOINC’s initial to-completion estimate was something like 24 hours. Are these messages fairly common here, or might this be indicative of a problem?

It means that the WU got stuck and was aborted by the watchdog.

The first estimate is often off by alot :) but comes close to your preferred setting after a few WU-s.

Happy Cruching
