Can you browse to the summary tab for this agent and see what the platform text is? I'm not able to replicate this.

Has this possibly been addressed already? Just tried it again and could not reproduce it myself (now running TRMM version 0.14.6 and agent version 2.3.0).

Maybe @silversword411 could try if it's still reproducible for him? Otherwise I think the issue can be closed.

I actually patched up a couple issues that could make this happen intermittently. It will be in the next release. Thanks!
