Hi, In our application we've also had these issues. As we do have quite a comprehensive test suite, I tried to detect these issues in tests, but I was unable to create a reliable way of detecting them. It seems that it's not always related to the actual lambda being serialized, but the entry point of the deserialization of that lambda. Many of the issues we could only reproduce after reloading a page several times. So we just gave up and make sure we do not use lambda's in some area's. Somehow, certain classes in our application are way more sensitive than others to these problems.
