I suspended the project and installed the update. After reboot, BOINC starts, and the activity monitor shows that sulphur is running, but BOINC cannot open the GUI window.

Quitting BOINC and re-starting it fixes the manager GUI problem. Now wondering why suspended work does not resume...

The buttons inside the manager GUI were highlighted and available, but the "resume" button had no effect. The commands in the taskbar pulldown did work, and the project is now out of suspension and running again.

Before the reboot I used the "Projects" suspend, not the menu. Perhaps it is still necessary to use the menu suspend. Anyway, I exitted BOINC and re-started it; then the GUI could open but the project "Resume" button did not take affect. Finally I tried the menu buttons. The second job has been aborted and the original job is running again.

Uhh, the activity monitor shows that the second (aborted) job is still in memory but using no CPU time. It's no longer visible from inside BOINC and so no obvious way to remove it from within BOINC. Is it safe to select and kill it using the activity monitor?

Yea, verily, it was safe: the original job still runs.
