Upstream has just fixed the issue, so the news I got a few days ago. There is yet nothing new on http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php that I could work on.And I just checked, there is no newer tag http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/browser#boinc/tags
I don't know if it is any better, but try installing apt-get install boinc-client=6.10.58+dfsg-4 from stable. My hunch is that the issues are because of the optimisations in the memcpy of the libc in Debian and Ubuntu? that do not like overlapping regions and .. well .. the BOINC code has seen only recently some fixes on the issue. It would be interesting to know if the older versions were any better on this. Would be surprised if so, have not checked. Think positive: we are helping upstream to get some part of the code right. I'll immediately update the package once the new tag is out.
