This wu stuck at 41.628% complete. When it was getting a time slice, the classical task was getting 50% CPU, (HT machine), but the figures were not changing in BOINC Manager.

Stop and start BOINC got it going again. I have seen this behaviour at a couple of the projects, but this is the first time I have seen it here. I believe the issue is within BOINC, or with the BOINC API.

Adrian --

Even though you got the WU restarted, the final outcome deemed the result invalid when it got back to the validator. I used to try and restart WUs too, but now, if I find that one has 'hung up' on me, I just abort the darn thing and send the notification back. This allows the scheduler to re-issue the WU if necessary, and prevents a time lag for others.
