Anyone had this before?

After displaying a preview, Monitor freezes. No clicks are accepted and time and SL no longer update, yet the nodes continue rendering as I can see on each node.

From the verbose log:

[22/August/2014 00:38:31] Requesting display...
[22/August/2014 00:39:09] Connection for preview reception.
[22/August/2014 00:39:39] Preview received
[22/August/2014 00:39:39] ERROR: TCP message from manager is not a XML message!
[22/August/2014 00:39:39] ERROR: Data type:5

See:

I quit the Monitor and then restarted it, yielding this:

The previous job quit itself and now the next job is supposedly running... only that it isn't - and one can't click start.

What gives?

Close and re-open the monitor. Sometimes it stops responding.

Quitting and re-opening works. Now the job preview displays the wrong file, but the correct one is being rendered. Just some glitch, I suppose.
