Keep getting: Generating path to <X, Y, Z> Waiting for path request to finish... Just thought I'd check... -J
I've been getting the same messages, requiring a restart to kick it into gear sometimes. I would guess this is because of high user load on the server, but it's still functioning. When it's down, the log message indicates that it was unable to contact the server (this can also happen if there's a connectivity issue on your end).
