Here's a tip for anyone who has to track down bugs of this nature. To greatly speed up work, just use a binary search technique. That is, go to the section of code that's causing problem, put a breakpoint or similiar half-way. If it dies before that point, move it back half way, after that point, move it forwards half way. Iterate until you find the place.
Cheers, Alex -- If PacMan had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to electronic music.
