PPEC errors

i got these 2 emails with error during PPEC which went through fine and does appear in ZC CP

IPN FATAL ERROR::No saved session data available
IPN FATAL ERROR::Could not find stored session in DB, cannot re-create

session as PayPal IPN transaction.

I'm using zc 1.3.7 installed and re-installed paypal a few times after uploading the 2.19.07 patch by Dr. Byte

though everything works, I just wanted to see what these errors are and if there is a way to fix them.

Thanks

Re: PPEC errors

Those "errors" are not a concern if the transaction is an Express Checkout transaction.
The code generating those errors is processing the IPN that comes for "all" PayPal transactions. Since that same code runs for both EC and IPN transactions, it cannot distinguish one from another at the present time. The error appears because it (correctly) cannot find a matching IPN "root" transaction to match up with ... because the EC transaction doesn't need to create the temporary stub for matchup.
