 # Known Issues
 
 - `vdb_upload` example pipeline triggers an internal error in Triton ([#1649](https://github.com/nv-morpheus/Morpheus/issues/1649))
+- `ransomware_detection` example pipeline occasionally logs a `distributed.comm.core.CommClosedError` error during shutdown ([#2026](https://github.com/nv-morpheus/Morpheus/issues/2026)).

+> **Note**: There is a known race condition in `dask.distributed` which occasionally causes `tornado.iostream.StreamClosedError` to be raised during shutdown, but does not affect the output of the pipeline. If you see this exception during shutdown, it is typically safe to ignore unless it corresponds to other undesirable behavior.
