The new E@H O4MD CPU tasks show up with negative memory usage. There is an actual negative sign. Something I have yet to see from BOINC Tasks. htop reports 2.6 to 2.7 GB used as does the BOINC MGR so its only BOINCTasks. I have sorted the tasks by memory usage in the image to show the data is actually negative. The other tasks are from other projects, all of the negative tasks are E@H.

I have Einstein tasks with the same size and the numbers are all positive.
What is the number from the BOINC Manager and the negative number BoincTasks gives.
I checked the BOINC Source files and I don't see anything wrong.

It's specifically O4MD tasks.

What do you mean by this? I've mentioned BM shows correctly per my own htop and other users reports.

Around 2.6-2.7GB for htop and BM and the screenshot above for BOINCTasks.

I tried to replicate, feeding a large number, but it stays positive.
Looks like it's what the BOINC client reports.
