[gentoo-user] [OT] What's happened to BOINC recently?

Hi list, Recently I've been finding that BOINC has just stopped. It doesn't show up in ps -ax and I can't see anything helpful in its logs. Every time I query its status I get this, which is new: $ /etc/init.d/boinc status /lib64/rc/sh/rc-cgroup.sh: line 80: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/tasks: Permission
