Jim, If I think back a very very long time I can think of when this might have occurred/been possible but it certainly isn't something I've heard of in a very long time.
We'd need to understand the nifi version, the os/version, java version as a starter. But also please look in the nifi-app.log as it would be extremely unlikely any such issue could occur with no signs of correlated trouble there.
