I would assume there's an illegal character in pid. Sorry for the obscure error message.

These are allowed:

&=?()/,0-9a-zA-Z_*.-:;@ +!^[]|#

Before 3.4.0 backslashes weren't allowed. That was fixed in 3.4.0. All characters that could be interpreted in the shell need to be quoted.

If you are sure that it isn't this let me know and I'll tell you how to turn on the parser debugger.

That would explain why the problem doesn't occur every time. I think you are right about the backslashes in the PID. I will get the to the upgrade today or tomorrow and let you know.

I've updated to 3.4.0 and I can't reproduce the error. But I couldn't produce it consistently before anyway. I guess we should just close this and if it pops up again I can open a new ticket.
