a couple weeks ago i got a few days of throwing up "thousands" of completed WUs. I let it ride for a while to see if it fixed itself. has anybody seen this before?

week | points | WUs

Yep.

usual culprit for this is a GPU client running on an overclocked card. CPU WU will not credit you with a WU or points if you error out. But GPU WU seem to give 0 points and 1 WU when they EUE. So a heavily OCed GPU that is EUEing on a regular basis will cause a huge spike in WU count.
 
get HFM.net installed and keep an eye on the "failed" column. If that starts going up you just found your problem, one or two here and there is possible, but generally not normal.
 
I had a stock (Dell) CPU running SMP give me credits for EUEs a week or two ago...confused me when I checked EOC due to the high WU count. Very random and only happened the one time.

Just to be clear, I got the WU credit, but no points.
 
Yeah RAD_MAN. As others have stated, you went a few days where WUs were failing one after the other and you either received partial credit or no credit depending on the WU. Projects that are hosted on fairly recent versions of server code are able to give out partial credit equal to the amount of work completed before it failed. However, if it failed at 0% before getting reported back to Stanford, you'd get 0 points but still show a counted WU.

If you look at your log files for the following three days, I'll bet you'll see a lot of failures:

Day | Credit | Units
04.16.11 | 7,906 | 1,448
04.15.11 | 3,713 | 2,841
04.14.11 | 3,147 | 1,882
