Random thought, have you tried opting out of CEP2 & UGM to see if that will at least allow the other projects to run?

Ideas? Blow it out and get a fresh download running. Better to ditch an errant work unit that have the computer dry up and it'll get resent to someone else anyway.

Actually, you don't need to do any work. Add them and set them to 'Do No Work' or 'Suspended' if that's what you want.

The key is that you will have no isolated communication pockets (i.e. subsets) that can have a change (for whatever reason) and not propagate that change out to the wider world.
