Unmerge the BOINC from portage and download/manually install it from the site. The version in portage is very old and for some reason, it hasn't been updated. I had the same problem with the same project until I upgraded to 5.2.13. I contacted the project and they confirmed that the old versions don't work at all. I guess they have some kind of restriction with old versions. As soon as I did the upgrade, everything worked perfectly. I haven't had a problem for over a month.
