Describe the bug
After mining for a while, ethminer will give lines like:

cl 18:50:56 cl-0     Job: dafbc1c3… Sol: 0x72856d00057ceb81

and end up with zero hash rate.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run ethminer on nicehash, with no pre-compiled OpenCL binaries (these are slower than OpenCL; also initially I had a bug where they were not installed) stratum2+tcp://<address>:x@stratum.<region>.nicehash.com:3353 --cl-nobin.

Expected behavior
Ethminer mines consistently without me manually having to kill it all the time.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Operating System: Gentoo Linux.
  • Hardware RX 480.
  • Ethminer Version compiled from latest git.
  • Ethminer options used: --cl-nobin --cl-local-work 256 --cl-global-work 32768. Same occurs with no options when the binaries are not installed correctly. Am testing with binaries enabled now; will update if it fails.

This occurs using the AMDGPU-Pro drivers, and after a while I even got a kernel panic which was not recoverable from without a hard reboot! I have decided to move away from AMDGPU-Pro and try Mesa instead, if only to not worry about data corruption.
