Looking through the Forum archives it appears Error 12002 is a version 21-specific problem that occurs when entropia.com is down even if mersenne.org is up. On Saturday entropia.com was indeed down. However, entropia's website has been up since sometime Sunday, and I have *still* been getting hourly 12002s on three different systems.
I would also ask the "keeper of the faq" to add a few new lines to it about these "new" (since 2 years or so ago) error messages that aren't described in the online information.
As suggested, I've added error 12002 to the FAQ. I've also emailed Scott
to see if he can get Entropia to restart GIMPS message forwarding process
