Well, I believe that LW automatically clears out a preview from memory
if you make a significant change to the scene, such as a new key-frame
etc... (It decides that the old preview is worthless...) Thus, if this
situation occurs, and you can still make changes, add a keyframe or
something meaningless... it should clear out the memory, letting you
set the last-frame a few less the next time around! :)
