Hi Rich,

I suppose this have to be the funny part... :grinning:

Just example of such ticket can be seen here. In this context, what I can rely on?! It's the same - here (in the forum with 'a few Dropboxers') or through a ticket. Very often users meet the same problem and can give more valuable advice. That's why I prefer to write here. In this thread I ask for technical support, not PR. If someone from the Dropboxers want, can forward all this to technical team (or at least the bug description). If not, ... :unamused:

Anyway... Thanks for Your advice! I appreciate Your try to help.

I found a workaround (until the moment, if any, when this bug become fixed). Just introducing delay in running process, so more system resources are available and triggering the bug become less likely (in my case, till the moment, didn't happen). I implement this using a script like:

#!/bin/bash
sleep XXX
/usr/bin/dropbox $@

Where 'XXX' is carefully selected delay (in seconds), so heavy load time span to be jump over. It works for me. If someone else meet same problem can try this.
