Seemingly very rare problem that I've noticed in prior v6.10.xx versions
but didn't report until now using v6.10.58.  In attached log segment
you'll see I ran Advanced->Run CPU Benchmarks 3 times from boincmgr.  No
problem with 1st and 3rd time... 2nd time it appeared to run it but no
results were displayed.  Perhaps significant is the fact that I had
boincmgr running on my main desktop (also Ubuntu x64, v9.10) but
attached to another machine on my LAN.  The machine boincmgr was
attached to is running Ubuntu v9.10, x64 w/ v6.10.58 from the PPA
(http://ppa.launchpad.net/pkg-boinc/ppa/ubuntu karmic main) but
previously I'd observed it also in binaries that had come straight from
Berkeley.  I'd report there if I knew how.  I'm hoping ya'll have some
way to xfer this way upstream to Berkeley's bug reporting system.  If
not give me some pointers and I'll log to that system.
