I have had the same thing happen a few times. Usually it happens when
fetching a new exponent, once it happened when reporting a result, but I
haven't seen it happen when updating expected completion times and all my
machines are set to update every day. I am running version 21.4.1. I had
suspected it was happening because of colliding with other traffic at
PrimeNet, and PrimeNet never completing the transaction for some reason,
leaving Prime95 hanging. But I can't be sure. It's been a minor
annoyance since the machine doesn't lock up hard on me.
