Another urgent one is client: eliminate possible buffer overflow in reporting
result errors, which has caught out a lot of CPDN users because of a faulty
batch of tasks (80e12bf571868896f608d68252dcfe31d1d24104).
We now have a Mac user unfamiliar with using terminal, who is unable to
extricate themselves from the problem which prevents the boinc client starting.
Charlie, if you're able to help? -

My BOINC screensaver fix for Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra is urgent and critical.
But it can't wait for 7.10, and neither should the fix for slot directory
cleanup. These two changes should go in a more immediate 7.8.3 release.
I expect that releasing 7.10 to the public will take longer because it will
have far more extensive changes and so require more testing and possibly more
rounds of bug fixes.
The Mac screensaver fix includes changes to both the screensaver coordinator
and tolibboinc_graphics2.a. All projects who have graphics apps will then need
to rebuild them with the new library and distribute them to all their users, or
at least those running OS 10.13. So we need to get my changes deployed as
quickly as possible.
Cheers,
