    pretty simple setup... a rotating cube in space.

    on run, I get a steady stream of this message in console, but no logged errors:

    Null JobInfo in Steal!

    any ideas what causes this?

    This is an internal assertion failure from Unity's job system.
    This is likely not related to the fact that you're running Unity on Linux (except maybe for timing).

    I've got the same problem (unity 5.3.5f1, ubuntu 14.04 and mesa r600 drivers). Is there some way to fix it? And, can it cause some problems like project files corruption?
    Thanks for your time!

    I don't know of a workaround for this currently - I don't think it's likely to cause project corruption.

    It'd be great if anyone has a solution/workaround for this... I run integration tests, and this exception halts the test, as it detects it as a failure.

    I'm running Mint 18 Cinnamon ('Sarah' ?), with latest Unity 5.4.0f3, and while the frequency of this message is less than before, i still get it.

    The only thing I've been able to see that "might" be correlated to it in the logs is the following:

    I got a new laptop and installed Ubuntu 16.04. With this setup, this error doesn't seem to occur for me at all (I can now run my integration tests reliably!)

    So I'd guess it's some incompatibility issue with the mono libraries on 14.04?
