    I am trying to find out what caused this error and I checked all the log

    Mailslot is a mechanism on Windows used for inter-process communication - It was probably a multi-player door game. Do you have a door with an executable called "wr2" set up?

    Most likely it's some corner/race condition. If it doesn't regularly happen, I wouldn't worry about it.

    In this context, "wr2" means it's the mail slot for "writing" for "node 2". That's expected.
