boinc --show projects not working

[shirish]

Hi all,

I'm running 6.2.12 and boinc --show_projects shows the following

$ boinc --show_projects

As can be seen everything is there but not the project.

This shouldn't be happening, should it, please lemme know if you need some more info.

Agree it's broken, but don't use that... Use 'boinccmd' to control a running instance of 'boinc'. I don't even know why stuff like --show_projects exists at all in the core client.

It seems to work in 6.6.11
