Joinsplit in progress message for one hour

Greetings. I’ve had a node fail to successfully load to the end of the blockchain a couple of times, requireing me to start over. Now the node has the proper block height, finally, and is validating transactions, but I have the message "Mining paused (a joinsplit may be in progress) for one hour.

I believe this represents an error, as my other nodes have never had this message and a transaction with joinsplit should process much quicker than this, am I correct?

This node has 16 gigs of ram of 8 cpu cores.

What could be the cause of this error and How do I clear this and proceed with mining?

Below are the contents of my debug.log since restarted the node a few minutes ago thinking that might clear the state (it didn’t).

Hi,
im with the same error message of you. Did you fix your problem ? Can you give a clue of how could i do ?
Thanks in advance, Estruc

Have you tried with latest Zcash ?

Zcash 1.0.10-1

No, I’ve invested my time in another cryptocurrency.

Maybe one day I’ll come back and try it again.
