The current SETI task on my PC has been running for hours (2 or 3)and shows it is using CPU time, but it's % completion never increases. It's stuck at %99.399 complete. Is it hung in a loop or am I just impatient????????

Try exiting BOINC and then restarting.

Sometimes workunits get stuck and normally this should solve the problem.

If that doesn't work then suspend it so that your pc moves on to the next one.

Also you may want to take a look at this thread...Work Unit problem....because it may be related to the workunit you are processing.

It seems to have worked, task went immediately to completion when I restarted BOINC. I'll also check out the thread you mentioned just out of curiosity.
