Barren Realms Elite and I was unable to duplicated the error below.

Mailslot is a mechanism on Windows used for inter-process communication - It was probably a multi-player door game. Do you have a door with an executable called "wr2" set up?

Most likely it's some corner/race condition. If it doesn't regularly happen, I wouldn't worry about it.

In this context, "wr2" means it's the mail slot for "writing" for "node 2". That's expected.
