This is from sometime between December 11th to December 12. I'm behind a wireless router right now. When this bug entry was posted, I was using a wired router. Might be helpful, might not. Using 460.1052 this time.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Unknown.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
This is the first time in many byond updates.

In other games?
Not a game issue, that I can see.

In other user accounts?
I have not looked into it.

On other computers?
I have not looked into it.

When does the problem NOT occur?
Unknown.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked?
I reported this issue a long time ago (maybe over a year?) and got my name into the release notes for it. Since then, it hasn't happened again until now. It used to happen hourly back then.

Workarounds:
Unknown.
It's happened to me a few times. Occasionally, my pager will just seem to "freeze". Maybe it's unable to connect to the hub or something, but it stops updating my status and the status of anyone I've added, and when it finally "unfeeezes" and starts updating again, I usually get that message.

If I had to guess, I'd think someone tried paging you when it was "froze", and it failed to receive the message properly.
Just thought I'd say that I haven't experienced this bug for the last couple of months. Maybe close this after Christmas?
I still get this on occasion
