"Create an Item" is auto-starting a workflow when it never used to

    "Create an Item" is auto-starting a workflow when it never used to

    Hello, my issue is that I create an item in a list within a Nintex 2007 workflow and sometimes this triggers a workflow. The workflow in question is set as "Start when items created".

    This might seem like its doing what it is supposed to do, but I've never encountered this before. I've always had to call the workflow explicitly with a web service call after creating the item (and a commit pending changes)

     So of course I get the error "Failed to process response. Error returned from server: Server was unable to process request. ---> The selected workflow '<some workflow>' is already running on list item with id <some id> in list '<some list>'" 

    To make things more interesting, it only happens sometimes and only in production. my test environment will only start the workflow with the web service.

    any ideas?
