Hey Jonathan, As Konstantin mentioned, I've been looking into a couple issues that could be related. At first glance it doesn't sound like you've run into quite the same thing.
What version did you see this on? The steps to reproduce are something like: 1) Start a NN 2) Perform a bunch of edits so there is a large edit log 3) kill -9 the NN 4) start the NN again 5) while it is in the middle of replaying edits, kill -9 it again 6) start the NN, and lose all the previous edits? Or did I misunderstand what happened? If that sounds right, I'll give it a go and see if I can reproduce.
