Related to bug #96934, if I try to use a fork of the original mining software,
hosted in https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum (my fork patching it to
compile in libclc: https://github.com/lvella/cpp-ethereum) my computer freezes
and requires a hard reboot in order to recover. One of the three times I tried,
what seemed to be an endless stream of kernel's error log was printed on the
screen, but it did not survive in /var/log/kern.log after the reboot.

To try it yourself, download, compile and run:

$ ethminer -G -F
mine.weipool.org:5555/0x7079a42c78d28ce9216c290d1bbc61e7b12d54a3/0.5

Note that this is a different OpenCL code than the one in #96934. The code used
there is from the official Ethereum repository. This one is from a fork, that
seems to be the most used version of the mining software.

Again, that command will mine on the public pool WeiPool and direct the
earnings to my address 0x7079a42c78d28ce9216c290d1bbc61e7b12d54a3. If you want
to try and don't risk sending me any money, change that number to you Ethereum
or Bitcoin address. Instructions in mine.weipool.org.
