I have never seen this either. The odd thing would seem to be that the task is still listed as a _0. I know that tasks that fail or timeout are resent to others, but, they are usually marked as _1 or higher.

This happens when the project has the option to resend lost tasks on on the server, and you have lost work. Lost work is work that the server thinks it sent to you, but that due to some problem somewhere along the way didn't arrive on your system, or that you accidentally deleted.

When your BOINC contacts the project a quick comparison is made between the work that is on your system and what the server thinks it sent you. If something is missing, it's sent again accompanied with that message.

Since this function can take quite some overhead on larger databases, it may not always be on.
