Hi!

FWIW, we get reports of this as well on Einstein@Home, this one is for 
BOINC 7.0.62:

Confirmed. We see this in the scheduler log:

Subject:        [boinc_dev] BOINC 7.0.64 weirdness?
Sent by:        "boinc_dev" <[email protected]>



Some BOINC v7 clients are getting into a weird state where they contact 
the
server every few minutes to request no work.  I haven't been able to
reproduce it, but people have reported that it goes away when they select
"read config file", even if they don't have a config file.

Here's a not very detailed log that someone sent me.  On the server side 
it
appears to be a request for 0 seconds of CPU and 0 seconds of GPU work
(essentially the same as requesting an update when no work is required).
