I set BOINC 5.8.11 to Run Always, and ran lsof with the command:
sudo lsof -cboinc -cBOINC

This lists all open file descriptors (file handles) for BOINC Manager and BOINC Client. It shows no open file handles of type PIPE. (The bi-directional pipe used to communicate with the AppStats helper application actually uses sockets, not pipes.)


Is it possible that we're seeing different behaviors then, for some reason. I'm getting a continuous stream of errors from the BOINC client like this:

SIGPIPE: write on a pipe with no reader

The 5.8.11 core client is unusable on my Mac OS X box. It is apparently creating pipes and not releasing them, so that it exhausts the available filehandles (confirmed with lsof). This causes the client to fail in opening the state files.
