Comment 58 for bug 1274456

This will fix the problem until your computer is restarted again:
sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client stop
sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client start

So, it's fix if you are willing to do it every time you turn your computer
on. This is because it will resolve the race condition that happens in
start up.
