[Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug

[Dave]

** Description changed:

- Hi. 7.0.24, 7.0.25 and 7.0.26 have a known bug which affects users with
- various hardware running Ubuntu 12.04. The bug makes the boinc software
- unable to process any work-units through the CPU.
+ Hi. Repository versions 7.0.24, (I assume 7.0.25) and 7.0.26 have a
+ known bug which affects users with various hardware running Ubuntu
+ 12.04. The bug makes the boinc software unable to process any work-
+ units.
  
- This is a known bug by a large handful of Boinc users.
+ This is a known bug by a growing group of S at H Boinc users running Ubuntu
+ 12.04 and other Debain variants.
  
  As soon as there is a version out which overcomes this bug, the
- repository package may want to be bumped up.
+ repository package may want to be changed.
  
  Thanks.
  
- [edit] it seems this bug is only caused by the repository installs of Boinc. When one installs Boinc from the berkely website the issue does not exist. It would be helpful if someone else can verify this.
- Also, the bug only seems to exist for seti at home users, apparently all other projects are unaffected (is the word on the street)
