It's a classic problem in computer science. Essentially what it comes down to is
that you can't determine when - or even if - a program will halt until it
actually has. It's why stuff like file transfer dialogs can never be totally
accurate. And best, you can estimate how long a file transfer will take based on
the current progress, but you can't _know_ when it will complete.
