    When pointing the shiny new Avalon ASIC miner directly at bitcoind (getwork mining), blasting bitcoind with a large number of requests,

    • cgminer reports several 'get failures' (to be investigated; a separate issue from this)
    • bitcoind stalls in the middle of shutdown
    • this shutdown-freeze symptom does not occur outside of ASIC miner getwork testing.

    Possibly related: #2204

    Isn't the first one expected? IIRC we decided on IRC a number of months ago that getwork mining was basically unsupported because the optimizations to make it perform fast enough were too invasive - or something along those lines.

    Does 2/3 occur even if you stop the ASIC mining before/during shutdown?

    No longer relevant, getwork has been removed.
