I tested the PPA version: far better, the number of opened files seems to stay at 22 (rather than climbing to hundreds as tasks are performed) (22 or less...).
I doubt the original issue would be caused by the project, as projects seems to have their own process, each new task being performed in a new process. Only the central managing process (boinc) seems to have a long lasting existence (But I do not know the internal of boinc, so I might be wrong)
