Hi JennC,
Any update on this at all? I see that 6.8.0 has been released, but there is no specific mention of fixes related to this. Be great to hear any findings from the logs.
Cheers,

So you still have this problem? Can you send a fresh set of logs?
Hi MDGM,
No I havent had the issue again thankfully (touching wood furiously) but I am sure some of the posters above would like some help. I am hping my issue was a one off, and I am waiting for 6.8.1 before I lift myself to the next level.
Cheers,
Nick
