....or at least try to get in touch? Hasn\'t returned a single wu yet, but what a queue of errors! The user only has the one computer listed on the account, but is
apparently in regular contact with the servers.

Just happened across this while reviewing my wu\'s ---)

Perhaps that uplifting the minimum BOINC client needed from 4.19 to a somewhat more up-to-date option is better.

There\'s no Solaris clients available anymore on the official BOINC download site, so why not put the minimum client need to 5.4.x?

This is only one of several people that have been spotted doing this, at least 2 of whom are still using 4.13.
It was reported to the team last year, and the minimum version was increased to 4.2 something. But it didn\'t stop these people from downloading 1 a day and crashing it.
