<p>We've recently had reports from other people about daemons becoming non-responsive and this print occurring too. We are investigating, but it is an open question at the moment.</p>

<p><span class=rvts7>We've been occasionally having issues that cause all of the spread daemons in our network (8 daemons) to go down more or less simultaneously. Unfortunately, we've not been able to get logs about any of them, but shortly (20 minutes or so) after all went down and were restarted, 1 of the 8 went down, with logs as follows. My assumption is that this is the same problem that caused all to go down, or at least related.</span></p>
