Description
I'll ask for a confirmation with a later version. You might anyway know where to look. Thanks Steffen

Package: boinc-client Version: 6.10.58+dfsg-3 Severity: minor
Hi,
It appears that boinc doesn't correctly handle cases where EPERM is returned. At least when trying to create /var/lib/boinc-client/slots/$n if it gets an EPERM (and possibly other error codes) it keeps incrementing $n, trying to create a directory for every value of $n.
Not only this is useless, but it also leads to high CPU usage because of the, apparently endless, loop.
