This is completely normal (see the README file). Once the factoring is done,
Prime95 should continue your LL-test.
The reason for this behaviour is, that if it was to complete the LL test,
and then quickly find a factor for the next number, you would suddenly be
left with no work left :-)

This seems to be the number. Note that it's only factored to 32 bits, and
probably will be factored to 67 bits (just a guess, there are tables for
this) before the LL test continues.
