Two distinct possibilities:
I have seen two effects that both look like that...
If you get a fail high or fail low at that point, it might take a very, very
long time to resolve.
Another thing that has happened is that the timer wraps. However, when that
happens (usually on very long analysis of several days) you will see a nonesense
number in the time like
20 991834234163:45 5/19* 1. Nxe3
That problem is obviously going to be very hard to reproduce.
