Hmm sorry mate, it sounded like a stack issue popping it's head back over the parapet, as a friend off-list had a similar problem a while back. All I can suggest is if you can replicate the issue, report the bug, and maybe go back to an earlier version that doesn't give you the problem if it's a pain. Of course, if you're not using the latest build it may well be worth trying that first. Sorry I can't help more!
