           Summary: BOINC 6.x/7.x take a long time to "start" when
                    launched from boincmgr

Wine 1.7.33 / BOINC 7 console output

There are a number of ways to start BOINC on a system:

1. At system startup (daemon/service).
2. On its own (in a console).
3. By launching boincmgr.exe (BOINC Manager).

As of BOINC 6.x, option 3 can take around 60 seconds to "start".

In reality the BOINC client (boinc.exe) starts immediately, just as quickly as
any other way, but boincmgr.exe struggles repeatedly to connect.

However:
A. If BOINC is already running, boincmgr.exe connects instantly.
B. If a second boincmgr.exe is launched immediately after the first (giving the
few seconds for boinc.exe to start) it can connect immediately.
C. boincmgr.exe can connect to any other client without any issue.

So it's *just* when boincmgr.exe first launches boinc.exe that seems to confuse
things.

>From stdoutgui.txt:

[01/06/15 16:24:00] TRACE [9]: init_asynch() boinc_socket: 212

[01/06/15 16:24:00] TRACE [9]: init_asynch() connect: -1

[01/06/15 16:24:03] TRACE [9]: init_poll(): sock = 212

[01/06/15 16:24:04] TRACE [9]: init_poll(): sock = 212

[01/06/15 16:24:04] TRACE [9]: init_poll(): sock = 212

[...]

[01/06/15 16:25:01] TRACE [9]: init_poll(): sock = 212

[01/06/15 16:25:01] TRACE [9]: asynch init timed out

[01/06/15 16:25:01] TRACE [9]: init_asynch() boinc_socket: 212

[01/06/15 16:25:01] TRACE [9]: init_asynch() connect: -1

[01/06/15 16:25:01] TRACE [9]: init_poll(): sock = 212

[01/06/15 16:25:01] TRACE [9]: init_poll(): connected

So it times out after 60 seconds and tries again with success.


In comparison, scenario A gives:

[01/06/15 16:41:13] TRACE [42]: init_asynch() boinc_socket: 216

[01/06/15 16:41:13] TRACE [42]: init_asynch() connect: -1

[01/06/15 16:41:14] TRACE [42]: init_poll(): sock = 216

[01/06/15 16:41:14] TRACE [42]: init_poll(): connected

Tried both 32- and 64-bit binaries in both 32- and 64-bit WINEPREFIXes, same
result each time.

BOINC 5.8.16 does not have this problem.
