Ric, I've been waiting for someone to ask me this question! There has been a persistent problem, which we think has something to do with the way in which BOINC is installed or configured in some cases, which causes machines to register themselves more than once.
I see that you have a machine called 'bluenose'. Is this the machine showing the problem, or is it another machine?

Ric,
I just got the same message on my Laptop (Mac), only minutes ago. I found it was still crunching an old WU with a quite outdated App (4.74), apparently because the machine is switched off most of the time and quite busy with other things (compiling) when on. The Result must have been far beyond the deadline.
I stopped the client, deleted the min_rpc_time line from client_state.xml (well, it was deferring communication for 23h and I was a bit too impatient to wait that long) and started the client with --update_prefs to force a server contact. All worked well, it downloaded new work and the latest App. Resetting the project should have the same effect.

Well, detaching (manually or automaticcally) and attaching (again) is even more drastic than resetting the project, but should achieve the same. I don't think that the blank made a difference, then.
