Bug#514303: (no subject)

[Ken Sharp]

"What I cannot understand is that the Windows version of BOINC does in
fact bind just to the localhost and not network adaptors by default."

That isn't true, unless it has changed in the last four years, but I 
have never had to tell any BOINC client to pick an interface on any OS, 
and that is preferred.

It is such a minor thing I'm not surprised upstream wasn't interested.
