...ever tried "./boinc_client --help" ? :-)

NOOOooooooooo, not that!

You want to scare him away forever never to return?!

Paul's WiKi might be a little more friendly ;-)

Ouch!

.. but it really didnt like the -malign-double flag. It benched ok, nothing
thrilling like your 4.19, but it nagged about results being over quota,
giving some really bogus numbers for result size, and I lost a couple wu.

Taking out -malign-double produced a working client, ... M

Any clues as to what's going wrong?

That is suggestive of some data structure getting scrambled due to assumptions in the program code, or a miss-match with library routines. (Or a compiler bug?!)

Regards,
Martin

Indeed. It doesn't seem to be a compiler bug as it did the same thing with
gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0.2. I tried various combinations of optimization and flags
to no avail. Same behaviour on both a p-iii and the athlon.

Sure looks like some variable got twisted around there, sigh.
