Eel-Infested Waters Still Getting "Stuck" in Red Mode

I’d rather not spam this issue, but our forum system will not allow me to update my original thread on this problem because I currently hold the last reply. How is one supposed to update their own bug thread? Keep editing their old posts with new info? That keeps the thread buried. If there is new info added (which should be in a subsequent post, not repeated edits of old posts), the topic should be bumped.

Anyway, I digress. I stated in that thread that the problem appeared “fixed” to me, but it has not been. Either the fix ended up failing, or there never was a fix in the first place, and I just got lucky in not encountering a “stuck” pool for a few weeks.

Alas, there it is this morning. A “red-mode” Eel-Infested Waters, with no eels to kill, and no one around with white-quality Chum to continue the process.

I let it sit for ~90 mins before making this post, thinking that perhaps the eels that drop the white-quality Chum would spawn after the encounter sat idle for “X” amount of time. No dice.

So, reference my original thread (link above) for a detailed description of the problem. It’s still happening. This “red-mode” pool will now sit until server restart on Tuesday.
