@wez seems like closing out of sublime and then restarting my server makes the issue go away without needing a full restart of computer

If you´re using sublime text don´t include the hole ember project the issue should be gone if you leave out the “tmp” and “dist” folder, seems to be a problem with the amount of changes in those folders while starting the server.

Since I reduced the folders in the sublime project I never had the issue again.

Had this occurring on ember-cli 0.1.9, mavericks, sublime text 3

Restarting Sublime solved it

😃 happy coding peopols
