<p>Maybe you could show us yours?  I tend to agree with Stephen that it's likely a disk space problem.</p>

Yes... good idea. Why didn't I start with logging myself. Unfortunately I got logs shoved away. Let me try to reproduce it now, and I will share logs. I'm pretty certain it will lock up on that block, it was happening yesterday all day from multiple workstations. It's definitely not a space problem, but no idea how could I not think of examining log

It looks very stupid, but I cannot reproduce the problem anymore. Thanks for idea to look @ log, I guess this is as much as it gets at this point

<p>The blockchain chews up well over a gigabyte of disk space.  Are you running out of disk space?</p>

'Well over a gigabyte' sounds like the understatement of the year, lol.
