So, having returned from holiday leaving "ymmv" running unattended for 2 weeks, I found 1 reported zombie and another 4 or 5 AMUs which had a very low WU, and had obviously been doing nothing for a while. While I was away I was monitoring my pool hash rate and noticed that it slowly dropped from an expected 11 Gh/s to around 9.x over the two weeks which ties in with the above findings.
I restarted "ymmv" but got several random LEDs coming full on for a few seconds at a time then going off again. Obviously not happy, so I then reverted to running 3.5.1 which ran perfectly and has been doing so all night with no zombies and all WU's between 4.6 - 4.8. This build is so stable!
I guess I will try 3.8.3 next unless there are other suggestions?
3.8.3 is the next one to test...
Started the test of cgminer-3.8.3 at 13:57. First zombie (AMU20) appeared briefly at 14:05 but it auto-started working again as AMU34. Two more zombies appeared at 14:12 and 14:24 (AMU10 and AMU13) and they did not recover.
I stopped the test at 14:49 as there didn't seem to be much point in continuing. The previous run of 3.5.1 was rock-solid for 13 hours, and I've included a screenshot of it at the top of logfile-3.8.3. All looks well with that run to me - no anomalies. Unfortunately I didn't manage to produce a screenshot of 3.8.3 before stopping it as the CMD window seemed to be continually refreshing and it wouldn't "hold" a selection to enable copying.
Logfile is here (without --debug):
