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

[Dave]

Its too bad this bug didn't show in 12.04 before its final release,
otherwise I would have reported it before 12.04 got locked. But for
whatever reason it worked fine until 12.04 was final and I reinstalled
boinc, it was only then that the bug showed
