Problem with Binary Radio Pulsar WUs?

(moderation:
Last night I was working on trying to update drivers on my quad core Dell XPS 8300 while E@H was running. I was half asleep while doing that. When I finished doing that I looked at BOINC and saw four instances of Binary Radio Pulsar WUs that had experienced Compute Errors. I aborted all four and updated E@H. This morning all my WUs were GW S6, along with a Gamma Ray Pulsar task, which had been added to the que, but I still don't have any BRP tasks. I normally run five: 4 CPU and 1 GPU. Is there a problem with the BRPs, or, more likely I haven't been given any tasks because of my stupidity. When can I expect to see downloaded BRP tasks again?

There has been a hardware problem with one of the work unit generating servers ( or rather it's network link). See Bernd's message in the technical news section.
No idea why your BRP4 tasks errored out, tho. I would try the obvious reboot first and have an eye on it when fresh GPU tasks are available again.
