Terminating intermittently

Has anyone had and solved a problem where programs would terminate without any indication of why? I encounter this problem about every 6 months and I can get it to stop by having me (the administrator) log-in then out of the machine. After this things are back to normal for the next 6 months. I've seen this on Windows XP and Windows 2...

Why does Flash's ExternalInterface *sometimes* not work?

I have a Flash movie which has a number of actionscript 2 functions which are exposed to Javascript via ExternalInterface. Normally this movie works fine and Javascript can communicate with it. But sometimes, intermittently and without explanation, the flash object in Javascript will not have the ExternalInterface functions. This happens...

Slowing down computer for debugging intermittent defect

Windows Mobile 6 intermitent connection problem NOPATHTODESTINATION

On a Windows Mobile 6 device we are trying to open an internet connection. This usually works but sometimes we get a return code of 0x80004005 with a status of CONNMGR_STATUS_NOPATHTODESTINATION.

Intermittently slow Mysql table - why?

We recently had an issue I'd never seen before, where, for about 3 hours, one of our Mysql tables got extremely slow. This table holds forum posts, and currently has about one million rows in it. The query that became slow was a very common one in our application: SELECT * FROM `posts` WHERE (`posts`.forum_id = 1) ORDER BY posts.crea...

RegexKitLite assertion failure occurring intermittently.

I'm using the wonderful RegexKitLite framework built upon the ICU library that ships with Mac OS X and iPhone OS. It has been smooth sailing so far, with the exception of this error that appears intermittently when searching for matches: Internal Error Invalid parameter not satisfying: (cacheSlot->setToHash == buffer->hash) && (cacheSlo...

Unusual javascript HTTP caching / undefined issues

Ok. I have never seen anything like this before and I am quite confused... On a website I am working on, there are two JavaScript includes. (Well, many more, but the problem occurs with only two). We'll call these A.js and B.js. A.js defines a JavaScript singleton A. Likewise B.js defines a JavaScript singleton B. The B class depends on...

Intermittent Crystal Reports error "The request could not be submitted for background processing."

We are running Crystal Reports on a Windows Server 2008 with .NET framework 3.5 SP1. I have seen many causes of the general error "The request could not be submitted for background processing." on other forums, however they tend to be persistent and repeatable affecting just a single report due to a specific formatting issue with a sp...

Why is my CSS intemittently failing to take effect?

Hi everyone, I have a problem I see every so often - I create a CSS file, link it in a webpage, but then it sometimes takes effect and sometimes doesn't. I've set up a very simple example which has the problem. This page is at http://localhost:8080/myapp/index.faces (It's generated from JSF, but I don't think that's relevant - I've cop...

MATLAB GUIDE gui listbox intermittently disappears with seemingly obsolete error

I am building a straightforward MATLAB gui using GUIDE. I have a listbox of items. Most of the time, it works as expected, but sometimes (usually after I edit the figure with GUIDE) populating the listbox causes it to disappear, along with this message: Warning: single-selection listbox control requires a scalar Value Control will not b...

For example, this one: Error: NSInvalidArgumentException: *** -[NSCFString didReceiveMemoryWarning]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x541fe0 0 CoreFoundation ...

Intermittent 403s due to CSRF failure (Django 1.2.3)

Hi folks. I've got a slightly crazy/infuriating bug with a site and CSRF. We're running Django 1.2.3, Python 2.6 on Ubuntu with Apache2 + mod_wsgi and have been getting end users reporting 403 CRSF verification failures and 403s as a result. All our forms have a csrf_token and - as far as I am aware - things work fine in local dev and...
