Yeah.
Something glitched during your connection and an unprocessed work unit
got clobbered on your machine.
My son's machine has done this twice, since his stats (online at SETI)
show 9 down, 6 up and he's working on number 7.
They're ready for this! If a work unit isn't returned for a long time
("long" is not precisely defined that I've seen...), they'll send it
again to another user.
Then again, you can't tell by anyone's stats whether this happened,
since some people appear to be running 100+ machines. In my son's
case, I know how many machines he's running.
