I recently noticed that my boinc client 6.10.45 is using 24GB of virtual memory space. Resident space is only 7MB, which seems reasonable. This is after a fresh startup. Why does the client allocate so much virtual memory space?

#ps aux
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
boinc 2879 0.1 0.0 25275148 7916 ? SN 14:27 0:00 /usr/bin/boinc_client --dir /var/lib/boinc
