What is up with the dual scheduler requests of the BOINC client?

I have seen this behaviour since the 5.7 builds and asked about it in Alpha at the time, but never got fully answered.

What is the first scheduler doing? I know the second one is showing in the Projects tab for that project.

Are both scheduler requests sent to the project's server? And what happens with the first scheduler when it times out? It doesn't show up on its own anymore. Does it keep pinging the DB server?

Report done with 5.10.2 (new one) on Windows 2000 SP4.

If someone is posting a local link with "\" in them, they get lost again in the present version of the forum software (at least on BOINC forums).

c:\program files\boinc comes out as c:program filesboinc

I checked "/" and they come out right. Not a clue which version of the forums the BOINC forums are using, I bet David can answer.

I just tested on Pirates. It uses the latest BOINC forum format. It has the same problem.

First reported this for BOINC 5.10.1, it's still broken on 5.10.6

All links under the BOINC Manager Help menu, but for the About BOINC Manager part, go to the same page.

BOINC Help, BOINC Manager help and BOINC website all open up http://boinc.berkeley.edu/manager.php

I would expect that they open up these:

BOINC Help - http://boinc.berkeley.edu/help.php
BOINC Manager help - http://boinc.berkeley.edu/manager.php
BOINC website - http://boinc.berkeley.edu/index.php
