glad to hear it.  as luck would have it, i'm currently working on
adding code to the condor_startd to be able to automatically spawn
a BOINC client whenever a condor VM is in Unclaimed/Idle.  the startd
will kill the BOINC client if the VM is matched with a real Condor
job, or if the machine owner comes back (there will be a set of policy
expressions to control all of this).

you could remove the references to LoadAvg from your START expression.
that's not ideal... what i'm working on will be much better.  but,
that'd be a start until my stuff is ready for a release.
