>Description:
with the OPTIMIZE option on, there are at least two bugs in net/boinc-client :

1. The benchmark test (both Dhrystone and Whetstone) end after a while with an unexpected 0 result.
2. Finished work units (at least those from astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced) cannot be uploaded, ~boinc/stdoutae.txt shows transient HTTP errors.

Both problems can be avoided by leaving the OPTIMIZE option off.

All BOINC ports are compiled with the system GCC 4.2.2 20070831
>How-To-Repeat:
reinstall net/boinc-client with the OPTIMIZE option on, run the benchmark test or try to upload some finished results.
>Fix:
Unknown (fragile code?), in the worst case remove the OPTIMIZE option.
