Reported as Abandoned when it's not

Commercial Webinator, v4.3.7 Windows with PDF plugin

I create a new profile. The initial walk comes back very quickly, reported as Abandoned, when actually, it's still running, successfully. If I go to the Walk Status page, it then shows the progress until completion. Why the initial report of abandonment?

At the time the Abandonment is reported, the db2.long file has the following content:

<pre>
Webinator Walk Report for WMCPress

Creating database d:\thunderstonesoftware\webinator/texis/wmcpress/db2...Done.
Walk started at 2005-01-20 15:11:39 (by user)

When it later actually finishes, it has the following additional content:

40 pages fetched (2,087,829 bytes) from http://newsite.hq.moen.com/Consumer/Pressroom/

Any idea why it initially reports the abandonment?

It may be the browser is refreshing faster than the process starts, and the first time it pulls up the db2.long file is actually empty and just about to get the content you see written.
