It did two trickles before this happened.
The complaints in stderr seem familiar, but I cannot find them here.

Sorry, too many model crashes! :-(

REPLANCA

That's a file mismatch error.
I'll report it.

It's felt that you have a bad download of oxi.addfa

You'll need a new copy before you get more tasks.
Or, set the project to No new tasks before you finish any more, and let BOINC delete everything. Then you'll get it all again with the next lot.

Which one? I have three of these still running.
I have set the client to no new tasks.
Should I abort these tasks? Or just let them run? If oxi.addfa is bad, must I manually delete it, or will the boinc client manage to get a new one?

$ locate oxi.addfa

That file is one of several auxiliary files that have data that's used by each model.
The oxi.addfa one is like a multiplication table - and one of the lines of data is missing some entries.

If you have several models still running, then let them run. They'll either finish OK or crash.
When they all finish, and BOINC has returned all of the data, the cleanup program will run and delete all of the auxiliary files.
THEN you can get some more tasks, and with them, a whole new set of auxiliary files.

********************

Another thought - whether or not the other models you have will produce valid results, will depend on where the missing file entries are.
If they're from the end of a line of data, then a model trying to get that data will crash.
If they're missing from the start of the line, then the file will return incorrect data to the model, making it "not as useful".

I've never had this problem, so I don't know what to suggest.
But I think that I would Suspend, Abort (each model), then Reset.
Then start again.
While wondering just how many earlier models I'd returned that weren't right. :(
