Description

I use tens of shells every day (bash on WSL1) and I have hundreds open.

I don't reboot my computer since the bronze age,

Sometimes this happens:

WSL is working.. all opened shells work and I can run anything on it.
But if I open a new one by running "bash" or "wsl" I get this error.

So far the only solution is to reboot. Until then the problem stays.

I did not find anything about this.

Any idea?
