I have also noticed this once, but could not reproduce = it since then. This happened to me not too much after the 1.0.1 release, on= a vm with 512 mb ram. I later cleared up that machine, as it was too small= . So in my case it was either a sporadic thing, a specific commit from guix= pull fixed later, or a not obvious out of memory. Wdyt?

This sounds really odd.=C2=A0 Can you share your system configuration?

Do you manage users outside of the Guix configuration system by any
chance?=C2=A0 Or can you reproduce it by simply invoking `guix system
reconfigure` enough times?
Be= st regards,
