Several GPU workunits in a row failed, at least two dozen from various BOINC projects.

Part of a large cluster of GPU workunits from various BOINC projects that failed about the same time, so at least one of them did not leave BOINC and the driver in a state where another GPU workunit would start properly.

The OpenCL section of the Nvidia 364.72 driver, and earlier 364.* drivers, has a problem which can an entire computer to lock up, or cause a few dozen OpenCL tasks (often not all from the same BOINC project) to give a quick Compute Error. Problem not seen in the 362.00 driver.

Tasks from POEM@home seem the most likely to trigger this problem.

The 365.10 driver is now available, but it does not fix this problem.
