Greetings,
We use Deadline to manage a large Windows render farm at Encore Hollywood. We are running into a mysterious crash where MayaBatch crashes on some of our tasks, but not on all of our tasks. The error looks like this:

…any idea what could be causing this? Our IT engineers are reimaging machines in hopes that a cleaner install of Windows might fix this specific issue. However, any insight or knowledge you may have of this problem is most welcome.
