I seem to recall seeing this when the RPC dll was being used rather than
HTTP. Some machines I had weren't connected to a hub sometimes, and
apparently when rpc would try to contact the networking services, prime95
would crash with an error like that.
Switching to HTTP fixed it since the HTTP dll must be better at detecting
"no network" conditions and can abort gracefully.
