Players not seeing other player's armor/items

[zeronerve]

I'm running and developing a minigame server that's on 1.8 (build 445). Occasionally, a player respawns with armor/items that are not visible to other players. Anyone solved this before? It happens about one time for every 8-10 spawns.

We're on using the latest build of protocolLib. I've ruled out interference by other plugins. Mine seems to cause the trouble!

thanks!
