I have a machine that when my son played a certain kids game, it would mark a factoring assignment that was in a 64 bit or higher pass as complete immediately and return the result. I discovered it was because of a bad sound driver. I fixed that and reran the two exponents it prematurely ended.I can't tell you what is causing that, but I can tell you that it has happened to me as well. I have only noticed it on a machine which I switched to factoring because it consistently got errors during LL testing. With TF I get no errors, but do get the occasional hiccup, maybe once every six months.
