You mean you can't reproduce it on demand or not at all?

What if you run this on other systems, do the same things happen about as
frequently?

Can you make an as small program as possible that still makes this happen and
post to the list so that we can have a go and try/debug for ourselves?

This this is a pretty specific error condition, you could run the things
through your debugger and set a break-point where this is figured out and
then from there perhaps find out some more local information about what just
happened.

Never seen this before.
