Linux box suddenly crashing wu's.

(moderation:
All the wu's this machine has received since 1st November have exited part way through with a status of 11. Others are completing the wu's. I have set it to "No New Work" against Einstein for the time being.
The machine is an Intel P-IV HT 3.0GHz @ 3.0GHz with a big Zalman heatsink on it, running Suse 10, and BOINC 5.10.x, (20 I think). There have been no changes in configuration or software for months.
The machine is not being used for anything other then BOINC at the moment, and has run trouble free for months, in fact, I rarely look at it other then to make sure everything is still running. It is still crunching SIMAP, Rosetta, QMC and MCDN without error.

Silly question, but have you tried re-booting; clean out the fans/filters/dust, etc?
Is it Overclocked? Sometimes one project stresses the system more than others and puts out errors when the other projects don't.

Yep, I remember a case like that from the S5R2 run. Someone's box suddenly kept producing weird errors, only in Einstein and only since the beginning of the new science run. Turned out to be exactly what you described: The new kind of computation was more stressful on the hardware, the box was overclocked, and those two things didn't go well together.
