Just as an addendum. This has happened at least twice that I know of. 
If this happens to you, please shut down the machine and disable it. 
If you do not shutdown and disable, the wafer stuck on the flat 
finder may end up in the etch chamber. The machine randomly, does 
pump down the load lock and all of a sudden the wafer gets loaded 
into the machine and starts etching. When you put the machine in 
shutdown the etch gasses cannot flow so even if the wafer ends up in 
the chamber the etch process won't start.
