Version 5.4.10?

[Steffen Moeller]

Hi Frank,

I experienced a problem over the last one or two weeks (time is floating) with 
WCG as well - though I have not touched anything on my BOINC or WCG 
installation except routine apt-get dist-upgrades on sid.

The log in /var/lib/boinc-client tells me - with the boincmgr not running - 
that
	2006-07-12 10:26:03 [---] GUI RPC bind failed: -1
and it does so from 5.4.10 downwards, the first version to come up with 
something is 5.2.15. This however now does not run WCG but folding at home or so 
on my machine, a standby project of mine, indeed.

The boincmgr hangs, even though I downgraded it to 5.2.15, too. An strace 
gives me
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 
0xb7f1a000
read(6, "127.0.0.1\tlocalhost\n141.83.113.2"..., 4096) = 411
read(6, "", 4096)                       = 0
close(6)                                = 0
munmap(0xb7f1a000, 4096)                = 0
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 6
connect(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(31416), 
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = 0
send(6, "<boinc_gui_rpc_request>\n   <majo"..., 166, 0) = 166
recv(6,  <unfinished ...>

which seems somehow related.

My preferences for leave in memory is "no".

I do not think that it is a Debian fault, has anybody experiences anything 
like this?

Steffen
