As described in https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/5480 this version of boinc-wrapper sends SIGTSTP to job processes, which does not work when boinc-client is running as a system service. This problem has been fixed upstream, but there has not been a new version released yet. Proposed solution - backport the fix by applying https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/pull/5486.patch in the ebuild. Reproducible: Always
