That seems to work and I don't see any problems with it. There were
seven watchdog restarts over about 3/4 hr whilst the system was doing
a buildworld but this is probably not completely unreasonable.
One oddity I noticed is that setiathome (unlike einstein@home) has one
thread that seems to have lost the idle bit (though that thread appears
to just idle). This is equivalent to a process increasing its priority
so I wouldn't have expected it.
PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU COMMAND
51503 boinc 171 i31 39944K 33052K RUN 3:43 100.00% setiathome-5.27.i

10 root 171 ki31 0K 8K RUN 2:51 0.00% idle

Let me know if you really want to get boinc working for yourself.

Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement
an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
