HI,

I think it is more the following situatiuon:

95+% done, connecting to prime.net -> GET NEW WORK !! ->  start with new 
work !

After 5-7% the old workfile gets it's active flag back and will be 
completed.

This situation is really b*llsh*t, imagine the new number is very high, 
it tooks 1 week to complete the 7% mark and complete the old nonprime.
