When I do a Synchronize with BOINCstatsBAM! under BOINC Manager's Tools menu with the unparsed_xml Event log diagnostic flag turned on, I get the following in the Event Log, which seems to have two ominous looking lines...

Old thread, but looked at this a bit...

I think BAM! is the one returning acct_mgr_reply.xml. It starts with:

  <acct_mgr_reply>

    <name>BOINCstatsBAM!</name>

    <version>2.2.8</version>

    <server>www4</server>

    <signing_key>

But, according to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/AccountManagement, it should start with:

  <acct_mgr_reply>

    <name>Account Manager Name</name>

    <signing_key>

Is there a good reason why BAM! is sticking two extra tags in there?

If a user has problems those lines tell me which version they have a problem with and from which server the problem originated.

Those lines are simply ignored by the client (unparsed). They have been there for at least five years.
