Caught an exception during the processing of a timer event

My log is getting nailed with these, I don't recall this happening before and can't think of any changes I've made that would cause this.

Any ideas?

Have a look at this search result from SC:

https://www.sierrachart.com/SupportBoard.php?do=Search&LimitToForum=0&Query=Caught+an+exception+during+the+processing+of+a+timer+event&Submit_Search=Search

In particular this thread:

https://www.sierrachart.com/SupportBoard.php?ThreadID=9898

Seems serious and could be related to using detached charts.

The problem seems to have gone away after a restart.

I am thinking it's just the 32-bit 2GB memory limit problem again that I keep bumping into, this time instead of my DOM disappearing it's resulted in this error.

It is not 2 GB. It is 4 GB:

Yeah sorry. Still, that's the issue I'm pretty sure given every few days I get out of memory exceptions and have to restart Sierra
