The one from the BOINC website also sigfaults when called from my home 
directory giving me a slightly different output:

	SIGSEGV: segmentation violationStack trace (6 frames):
	./Desktop/Downloads/BOINC/boinc[0x80947ed]
	[0xb7f9d420]
	/lib/tls/libc.so.6(vsprintf+0x8b)[0xb7ea5cdb]
	/lib/tls/libc.so.6(sprintf+0x2e)[0xb7e922ee]
	./Desktop/Downloads/BOINC/boinc[0x8094e0a]
	[0x2f2f2f2f]

	Exiting...

5.4.11-3 does the same as 5.4.11-4.

Ok. Done.

Also done. Good luck with the debugging though it now looks more like a 
problem in upstream than in the debian-package. Thanks for your help!

> P.S.: Please also CC 379137 at bugs.debian.org when replying, thanks.

Ok.
