I am using 3.8.1 since 3.8 broke openfire and had to use a nightly build i upgraded this morning to the regular build in hopes it resolved the issue but it hasnt.

Hi

Could you solve the problem? I have the same problem…

We’re seeing these errors along with crashes but I can’t confirm the two are related. The crashing is getting bad though. It just started this week. We were on 3.7 and have upgraded to 3.8.1 in hopes that would solve it, but it hasn’t. We’re running in debug mode now hoping to find more information.
