Grouper Developers Forum

[Michael R Gettes <>]

I have been unable to recreate the loader issue.  For 2 days it happened regularly and consistently.  No changes to grouper, no restart, nothing and then it just stopped happening.

You should remove this item from the list on issue round up.

Thanks.
