This running-wild behaviour is a well known problem with the somewhat broken OSX OpenCL implementation and the phatk-style miner kernels. No proper solution yet. However, you can use an earlier version of Diablo miner with a different kernel. If you check out the sources, do a "git log" and look for the time the switch to the phatk occurred (iirc Jun 24), and use that one. You can also find an older version packaged in a Mac-friendly app by someone else here on the forums: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=8994.0This really should be an FAQ entry somewhere...

The ghash meter just measures raw ghash produced. If it stops moving, then yes, you have a problem. FPS doesn't sound right unless you're a large -f value in the same ballpark, and the second mhash number doesn't make sense unless you own 2 or more video cards.
I assume its just more OSX insanity. I am not surprised.
It is the original Mac Mini without any hardware changes. (1 video card) How can I help to get rid of the OSX insanity? Or should I get rid of OSX? Honestly? Don't mine on OSX. Even when it works, it sucks up 40% of your performance.

Yeah, but you also lose a ton of important fixes.

Agreed. What I do is, I patch the current master head version so that it uses the kernel and support code from before the change. Works nicely, but admittedly not a solution for the masses. Regarding performance loss on OSX, well, I mine for fun not for profit, and I'd rather have something that works at reduced efficiency than nothing at all.

Could you make your DiabloMiner directory available somewhere? I also mine for fun:

I have a technical question for the developer; At ABCPool we have at least one user experiencing problems when connecting with Diablominer. Part of it pertains to Long Polling; ABCPool times out LP connections with an empty HTTP 200 response after 50 seconds to prevent defunct LP connections from causing delays when a new block is found. When this happens, DiabloMiner prints [8/18/11 10:22:18 AM] ERROR: Cannot connect to pool.abcpool.co: Bitcoin disconnected during response: 200 ok
Is it possible that DiabloMiner gets confused by these timeouts? I'm wondering, is there another way for ABCPool to gracefully timeout the connection in a way that DiabloMiner remains happy? BTW: The way Phoenix handles such a timeout seems OK: It silently reconnects. Is there a way to get similar behaviour from DiabloMiner?
