You're using your home directory as BOINC's data directory; don't! It will clutter it with its data files, and then you'll have trouble finding your personal documents in a folder full of BOINC's state files.

Plus, it will think the entire contents of your home directory is "space used by BOINC", so it would refuse to get work because it's already using too much.

If you're using BOINC from Fedora repositories, then the client should be already running. In that case, don't ever run the boinc_client command yourself.

Otherwise, create a directory exclusively for BOINC's data, and run boinc_client while being there.

The stack overflow crash is, incidentally, while it walks through your entire home directory checking how much disk space it's using. Some file path gets too long in the process; longer than it normally would if there were only BOINC-related files in there.
