This may very well be an intermittent corner case but I did get hit by this when importing a server under an already imported platform. I did the following odd sequence of steps:

Clean db
Import platform and its servers
uninventory (postgres) server
exit agent
restart agent --purgedata
agent plunks postgres server back in AD
import from AD

from the agent log...

The problem is in RuntimeDiscoveryExecutor:

    private void runtimeDiscover(InventoryReport report) throws PluginContainerException {
        // Always start out by refreshing availabilities, since we will only scan servers that are available.
        this.inventoryManager.executeAvailabilityScanImmediately(true);
        if (this.resource == null) {
            // Run a full scan for all resources in the inventory
            Resource platform = this.inventoryManager.getPlatform();

            // Discover platform services here
            discoverForResource(platform, report, false);

            Set<Resource> servers = platform.getChildResources();
            for (Resource server : servers) {
                discoverForResource(server, report, false);
            }
        } else {
            // Run a single scan for just a resource and its descendants
            discoverForResource(resource, report, false);
        }
    }

 It looks like 'platform''s child resources Set is getting modified, perhaps we can just protect the returned Set but maybe it's a deeper concurrency issue.
