All my work units for the last week after being processed have been declared abandoned. Anyone else have this happen to them?

Yes, that has happened spontaneously to some others. It's a server-side thing which is only meant to happen when a user Removes and then Adds the project again, comments in the BOINC source code indicate the assumption is the user didn't like the work and wants a fresh set of tasks (and the act of Removing a project deletes any tasks on the user's system). When it happens spontaneously the tasks haven't been deleted, so the system runs the tasks uselessly.

All 21 abandoned tasks were marked as such 21 Apr 2014, 5:00:56 UTC so that's when the issue happened. There's also a computation error reported ~7 minutes earlier at 21 Apr 2014, 4:53:17 UTC which might be related.
