Comment 20 for bug 991179

Hello,

I can confirm this problem. I have only a hunch what may be wrong, most likely the boinc-client now produces lines in its communication with the scientific app that are complete - but too long. But I have to prove that, still. The problem occurred while I was excluding potential issues with the Einstein@Home scientific app, which had eventually been identified and fixed in upstream code of 7.0.26. Einstein@Home is not affected by this issue, please consider running that or Rosetta@Home until the update is in the archive.

I had compiled the SETI App locally but that still shows that bug, so I am a bit puzzled. Go ahead with your patch-free version. For Debian I aim at 7.0.27 to have that addressed, which has seen a major update of our patches in the upstream codebase. ... should come out any time soon, now.

Cheers,

Steffen
