Description

We're running TS in a two-server cluster right now. The clustering works well and is functioning as you'd expect. However, every so often, TS crashes with the following backtrace:

FATAL: ClusterCache.cc:1759: failed assert `tc->tunnel_cont == tc`
traffic_server: using root directory '/usr'
