Hmm, ok. I get loud complaints that we are printing "(0 of 0)" while 
thousands of setscene tasks are being processed, so that is unfortunately 
not much better... 

Would it be possible to change the accounting so that we do not end 
up with "task 1000 of 500"?

For the record, we are not using the hash equivalence server, so I 
guess we should not have any setscene tasks that are being rerun, but I 
have a feeling you do not want to treat the two cases differently.
