Bug Description

Logged into a machine and I was informed of an error. There is not much way for me to say what triggered it until the diags are presented. If the suggested bugs of #1565332, #1618602, #312835 and #1659846 are anything to go by the diagnostics are not going to reveal anything either.

Oh good. Another bug that has been marked as a duplicate of a private bug so I cannot tell if it should or should not be a duplicate of it.

This bug is not marked as private any more. Please can someone with access to #1663453 check if it should or should not be still marked as private.
