How do we get past this? Usually a second request will be successful but not always. My developers are understandably dismayed at not being able to rely on personal builds to validate their changes prior to delivery. They aren't at the torches & pitchforks stage yet, but it's getting there. We've been living with this for a while and I hoped that upgrading to 5.0.2 would fix it but apparently my hopes were mislaid.
