Oh. Do you have some links, which describes the CPDN and BBC bugs. - I did not known about this, because I am not computing this both projects. - Are this application problems fixable ?
The output you have posted looked, that it is a problem before starting the appliacations, and looked like a boinc or linux issue....

As soon as I detatched from that project, boinc immediately started to work again.
I "googled" for "segmentation violationStack" and found quite a lot of people who were in the same boat as I was.

Has the story.
Whether they are fixable, I don't know. I may check back when I have more time.

OK, fixed.
After some searching, it appears the climate prediction project is the culprit. Both Sulphur cycle and BBC versions seem broken for Linux only and not an MS Windows problem.
Shame really, as I wasn't participating for long, but it looks like I will not be running for them under Linux at least.

I had this start to happen when I had Fedora Core 4 installed. It only started to happen about three to four weeks ago after running without any problems for months.
Other factors made me completely wipe my hard disk and put on a fresh installation of Fedora Core 5. I also installed boinc from a fresh download.

I attached to SETI and CLIMATEPREDICTION, both of which have ran for about a week until now. Every time I try to restart, it bombs out with this SIGSEGV error. OK, so it just may be a Fedora thing, I don't know, but whhy does it run for approximately a week before stopping very very dead?

Here's the complete xterm output when I try to run the client:

Had this happening every workunit on FC4, so I wiped the drive and installed FC5 from scratch. Installed 5.2.13 i686-pc-linux-gnu and have successfully attached to seti and climateprediction.
Everthing goes OK for a while, then will not restart without :
SIGSEGV: segmentation violationStack trace (4 frames):
./boinc[0x80845b2]
[0xb24420]
./boinc[0x80784d9]
[0x5f6e306e]

I don't have any clue why this is happening and will likely remove boinc shortly if I can't get it going again.

Short rant: I have to say boinc is bitterly disappointing given the sublime ease "old" seti ran with. Sometimes change isn't good.
