The self-deleting stcore.jar file
This is an odd one. Support call
today for a recent Sametime 7 installation. The customer had not
touched the server since I set it up, and only rebooted it. After
reboot, Sametime won’t work and this error appears in the log file:

Well, after a bit of digging, I found
a blog
post with a similar error. It
seems the stcore.jar disappeared from the \lotus\domino directory. Get
another copy of the file, pop it in, and all is well.
One for the strange basket!
