Thanks for the hint!
Meanwhile I have re-compiled the sources of 5.10.21a and that also fixed the problem. I only had to replace some strlcpy function calls by strncpy in client/switcher.C.

I have just installed the current BOINC software 5.10.21 on my openSUSE 10.3 system. When I try to start the BOINC manager program I get the error message
boincmgr: xcb_xlib.c:42: xcb_xlib_lock: assertion »!c->xlib.lock« failed
Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same here on several Linux machines with Einstein. I could not find anything which causes this behaviour, although it seems to happen often after a benchmark run (but not always). Up to now I never saw Seti affected by this.
4) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC client loading old files from SQUID cache (Message 2508)

I am running the BOINC client 5.2.13 on a Linux machine. This machine is connected to the internet via another Linux machine with a SQUID proxy (2.5-STABLE6).
At the end of last year the German Einstein server had some trouble and delivered defective files. This was fixed but my client still got MD5 checksum errors when downloading any new file. The same happened some days ago when Seti had some trouble with network connections.
In both cases I could only fix this by stopping the SQUID and erasing its cache. After SQUID was restarted the next download went well.
It seems that the BOINC client loads the files again and again from the cache, even if the files there are defective for some reason. Would it not be better if the client told the cache to load a fresh copy of a file each time (the function you get with the 'reload' button in a web browser)?
