We have identified the true cause of the issue and are preparing a patch. We are also making things "a bit more" robust, no pun intended.
Good to listen that

Can you guys tell us which users here are the part of the SEEM Dev team, and what role they play?
So far we know:
thereverseflash - the tech guru who knows everything about chain implementation,
steem - the CEO, owner and coordinator
who else?
I suppose
abitmore, and maybe
dannote..?
I feel there are a bunch of people behind the curtains

dannote works for blocktrades.us and is supporting Open Ledger in getting Steem listed. He is not an employee of steemit, inc.
abitmore is a major contributor to bitshares and very knowledgeable about the underlying tech, but does not work for steemit, inc at this time.
