Einstein@Home isn't running

(moderation:
BOINC runs Seti@Home fine, but when it goes to switch to Eienstein@home, it just skips Einstein and goes back to running Seti. This began after BOINC finished with an Einstein work unit, and transmitted it. It looks like the next work unit was downloaded but Einstein never ran again.
I looked in the stderr file and found some errors logged. Any idea how to fix it ?

BOINC works on a by-debt basis. It will get work based on debts and is now playing catch-up to Einstein, giving the CPU to Seti only until that has run approximately the same amount of seconds as Einstein has run. .
Now, your Einstein tasks run for around 93,000 seconds. Your Seti tasks run for some 26,500 seconds. It'll probably take two more tasks of Seti before you will get work from Einstein again.
Neither according to your computers list, nor to your last contact (searching for 1358451, that's your hostID), did you get any work lately.

Hi
This seems to be an appropriate topic to ask this, since my problem is similar.
My Einstein@home also stopped running after a sudden BOINC crash.
Does not do any work, keeps restarting the task:
"13-07-2008 0:29:03|Einstein@Home|Restarting task h1_1199.00_S5R3__750_S5R3b_1 using einstein_S5R3 version 426
13-07-2008 1:03:55|Einstein@Home|Restarting task h1_1199.00_S5R3__750_S5R3b_1 using einstein_S5R3 version 426
13-07-2008 1:12:49|Einstein@Home|Restarting task h1_1199.00_S5R3__750_S5R3b_1 using einstein_S5R3 version 426"
The graphics don´t appear, CPU time does not run, it´s dead. All the other 4 projects run fine.
I´ve already aborted the work for 2 times, hoping this "illness" to go away, but with no results.
Suggestions?
I´m thinking on leaving the project, clean all Einstein@home related files and try again. Will this help?
Need help here...
Thanks.

Try doing a "Reset project"

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.
No good. Keeps on "chocking" the task. It´s really weird.
