global node error after 1 hour of playback

In our scenegraph app, after about an hour of HLS live stream playback, a regular lookup on the global node crashes the app. This code is in a task that runs an http request at periodic intervals.
BRIGHTSCRIPT: ERROR: roSGNode.<lookup>: Rendezvous aborted for Node: pkg:/components/cpc/metrics/tasks/cpc_http.brs(19)

If I run some logging in this debug session, i get strange results. The global node is there, but accessing this particular value (which is set when the app starts up) gives me weirdness:

<Component: roSGNode> =

    change: <Component: roAssociativeArray>
    focusable: false
    focusedChild: <Component: roInvalid>

    watchlist: <Component: roSGNode>
}

Brightscript Debugger> ? m.global.http_timeout_seconds

invalid



To be clear, this lookup has worked without issue dozens of times previous to this crash.
Any ideas what is going on here? Memory issue? this is on a Roku Stick:
