These are corruptions in the log files, typically caused by Cumulus being unexpectedly closed (e.g. killed using Task Manager, or a PC reboot) while it is writing to the log files, but there can be other causes such as power blips or you using a spreadsheet to look at or edit the log file. The error message may say something like "List index out of bounds". The error message will name the affected file(s) and the affected line number(s). | These are corruptions in the log files, typically caused by Cumulus being unexpectedly closed (e.g. killed using Task Manager, or a PC reboot) while it is writing to the log files, but there can be other causes such as power blips or you using a spreadsheet to look at or edit the log file.

Stop Cumulus and open the named file(s) in a good text editor, such as Notepad++. Do not use Notepad. At the line number(s) mentioned correct the error(s), which will be obvious as the lines won't look like the other lines, they will be blank or have garbage characters, or perhaps two lines have been run together. Save the file(s) and start Cumulus again. | Stop Cumulus and open the named file(s) in a good text editor, such as Notepad++. Do not use Notepad.
