BOINC prevents MacOS X from resuming from standby

Description (Last modified by Nicolas)

On my MacBook Pro MacOS X repeatedly hangs when opening the lid (i.e. resuming from standby) when BOINC is running. It does not happen all the time, but I'm sure that BOINC is at least one reason for that problem. If BOINC is not running, the problem doesn't occur.

My dad has the same problem sometimes on his PowerBook?, running OS X Tiger, that doesn't and has never had BOINC installed.

A small update after disabling BOINC for several weeks: Zero lockups. I'm sure this is a BOINC problem.

My experience is that new Macs often don't have the latest software and firmware updates. I recommend you confirm the firmware version. You should be able to do this using the System Profiler.
