Unfortunately, the application is not open source and I am not allowed to give 
the code to someone else, even though I have access to it.

The application calls clFinish and clWaitForEvents, but not clFlush. I think 
the problem is that the kernels might already have finished execution when the 
application calls these functions. Because of that the queue is not flushed and 
thus not cleared.
However, I cannot reproduce it right now.
