Script Engine crashing when 2 FMS17 scheduled scripts using Email plugin run simultaneously

Featured Replies

Our office recently replaced a database server and upgraded to FMS17 from FMS16. Now that FMS17 is being used, the Script Engine process terminates abnormally when 2 scheduled scripts using the Email plugin fire-off at the same time. Individually, the scripts run fine. However, run in tandem, they crash FMSE. Any thoughts on why the  360Works Email plugin would allow simultaneous scripts to run in FMS16 but not in FMS17? 

Server Version is: 17.0.2.203
Plugin Version is: 3.1

A power outage and UPS failure caused the Windows 2016 server to restart. For unknown reasons, this appears to have resolved the problem. The server had been intentionally restarted once while experiencing the above issue.  I confirmed in the Event log that the same scripts are firing at the same time and FMSE is not terminating abnormally. 

...I guess 'have you tried turning it off and back on' would have been the correct response to this problem. Ugh.
