 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. 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).
-Stop Cumulus and open the named file(s) in a 'Comma Separated Value' or text editor. In Windows Notepad 'Go To' in the 'Edit' menu (CTRL + G) will (with word wrap off in 'Format' menu) take you directly to the line number. It is easier with a good editor that shows line numbers such as 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.
