Completed and validated fine. It maybe got stuck at the "No heartbeat message". Took considerably longer than wingman but it was running in a Virtual Box so maybe just the overheads of that. Anyway, all seems well again 8¬)

Update on that WU;
I closed then reopened Boinc Manager to find elapsed time had rewound by about 4 hours but shows time remaining rather than the blank I had previously. Progress bar has also started ticking up so all appears to be well again. We'll see what happens in 2 hours time (past my bedtime so I'll not see 'til morning)

I've got a similar wu stuck at 67% with "time elapsed" proceeding but "time to completion" now blank. I've suspended it for now rather than aborting.
In Windows, I'm sure you can trick such a stuck wu into finishing gracefully by editing the "fraction done" line in the task_state file or progress file if there is one(I've had to do this a few times for stuck T4T WUs), but I'm a linux virgin so wouldn't even know where to look for the equivalent file. I tried to edit the cc_config file to show checkpoints etc. but it said I didn't have permission so even if I find it I might not be allowed to edit.
Hope that points somebody in the right direction.
