Too many gamma ray pulsar search work units

(moderation:
My BOINC options are: connect to the host about every 0.5 days, additional work buffer = 0.5 days, use at most 80% of the processors (=3 CPU-cores). But meanwhile my BOINC manager is scheduling aleady 121 work units of gamma-ray pulsar searches, each one taking about 8.6 hours of computing time on my machine. All GRPS work together is summing up to a total of 2 weeks of computing time now. How can I have BOINC refusing new work units that exceed the time span I chose in the options?

Did you set those preferences locally or in your online computing preferences?
If online, check if the local preferences show the same values, because they override the online ones. If you don't need the local preferences, you can use the "Clear" button to remove them; then the online preferences will be used again.

Unfortunately, it's already too late to see why the server did this:
Would it for possible for you to look back in your event log to see whether your computer made multiple requests for work? That's what it looks like from your task list.
That's what my eventlog shows

That's what my eventlog shows concerning downloads of LATeah... and skygrid files since 2012/03/19. The first 6 lines are indicating 3 errors that might be the reason of Boinc's behaviour.
To me it's of minor importance what happened. The question is: What is to be done now to fix the abundance of work units?
