Loading any MVC page fails with the error "An item with the same key has already been added."
- by MajorRefactoring
I am having an intermittent issue that is appearing on one server only, and is causing all MVC pages to fail to load with the error "An item with the same key has already been added."
Restarting the application pool fixes the issue, but until then, loading any mvc page throws the following exception:

Custom event details:
As mentioned, it's every MVC action that throws this error until the app pool is restarted, and the error seems to be occurring in System.Web.WebPages.Scope.WebConfigScopeDictionary.TryGetValue(Object key, Object& value)
Has anyone seen this issue before? It's only happening on this server, on any of the app pools on the server (not confined to this one) and an app pool restart sorts it.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
Matthew
