thanks
The boinc-client init script fails to shut down boinc if /var/run/boinc.pid
does not contain the actual boinc pid. This can happen if boinc is started
with the --daemon option. Since this option is not used in the default
configuration of boinc-client, this bug is at most of severity "normal" and
not release critical. An easy fix would be to add a warning to
/etc/default/boinc-client to not use the --daemon option. More elegant would
be of course if the init script would work with or without this option.
