Grouptask with no owner Timeout Crashes TeamSite

System

I am trying to create a grouptask with a timeout that is set to an explicit date. If no user takes ownership of the task before the timeout occurs, it seems to crash TeamSite.

Attached is the XML that I passed to the workflow instantiator to create the task, followed by what iwgetwfobj now gives me for the task. Note that the timeout value was changed during workflow using iwsettasktimeout.

As I believe you can clearly tell from the expiration="1043789400", this task should have transitioned by timeout at 15:30 today (about 30 minutes ago central time). When this time was hit, TeamSite crashed. In the Windows Event Viewer I see:

The application, d:/releng/Release/hotgas/dev/main/dev/TS5.5/TS5.5.2L_SP1/iwbuild/nti86.REL/src/hammer/iwserver.exe, generated an application error The error occurred on 01/28/2003 @ 15:30:00.738 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 7993C355 ()

In IWHOME/local/logs/iwjoberrors.log I see:

[Tue Jan 28 15:30:00 2003] No role for .

A similar message appears in iwtrace.log:

[Tue Jan 28 15:30:00 2003] No role for .

I remember filing a support case some time ago about grouptask timeout events not activating if nobody had taken ownership of the task and I wonder if this the attempted resolution. It is also quite possible that I am doing something wrong. Does anyone know anything about this?
