Running what seems to be a 32-bit setiathome client on 64-bit architecture.
Running on dual processors, but restarting boinc or something as simple as a boinc-called benchmark test will cause the running process to die and not come back. Restarting the computer seems to reset the workload back to the start as if it got corrupted somehow. It drags along at 99% forever and never goes past it, and never completes on the estimated time.

Removing i686-setiathome binary, and symlinking x86_64-setiathome binary to override it to use the x86_64 binary. Boinc causes a download of a i686 binary, but initially top shows the x86_64 binary running as would expect it to be. Need to find a way to disable using the i686 binary on x86_64 architecture. Have cross checked freebsd, which has repo support not only for boinc, but also setiathome and it is using x86_64 binary by default, without problems. Time figures seem to be more cohesive with x86_64 than with i686 binary. Also, switching to x86_64 killed some previously attempted tasks with conflicting messages about being done, and with no computation.
------------
Looks like freebsd also has a app_info.xml file located in the projects directory, that points to the setiathome binary. So this is probably what I need to make it use the correct binary, although there is no easy way to do this except manually.

I got one to go through in a reasonable amount of time, but the second one is still dragging along. Not sure what's going on here. Previously when I ran boinc and setiathome the astropulse binary would fail everytime. Doesn't look to matter whether it runs 32-bit or 64-bit binary.
