Since it seems likely this is a BOINC problem somewhere, I'm bringing
it to boinc_dev.  Is anyone else having problems with clients compiled
with 7.0.28 libraries segfaulting when run under the BOINC client in
anonymous platform mode.  I wasn't able to recreate it, but I'm using
a static build of seti@home.
