(Get the code!)
The RebootPending.txt file is created by the Windows installer. The installer also sets things up so the file gets deleted on the next reboot. If the file exists, BOINC Manager will show a message box saying "A reboot is required in order for BOINC to run properly. Please reboot your computer and try again." and quit. That reboot is only needed on Windows due to the way new user accounts are created; it's not needed on other platforms.
Maybe the manager shouldn't check for that file on platforms other than Windows; or maybe it should check for its existence in a different way (instead of trying to open it), to avoid that error message on stderr.
Consider reporting upstream.
