Comment (by pastly):

 > How frequently it happens?, any way to reproduce it?

 I just started running sbws again after not running it for months. It
 happened over the first night from what I can tell.

 I don't know how to reproduce.

 half without it, so got to think that since i was installing it with -e,

 not sure that's even possible...

 Interesting theory. I'll do a clean install and try again.
