  • Etcher version: version 1.0.0-Beta.16

If @Agmka is indeed running low on RAM, then maybe his system was swapping heavily (i.e. really high IO load), and that’s why the GUI missed one of the IPC messages and tried consuming two at once?

Given that it looks like the JSON objects are printed one-per-line, maybe this issue would be resolved by splitting the IPC message on newlines, and only trying to parse the last line as a JSON object?
