Dunno and doubt it - but keep us posted of your findings.
Hint from expirience: correlate occuring errors to the memory corruption.
I have run into vfp fragmenting memory by an inherited app with abysmal coding style,
where much of the logic depended on error handler active code. Seems to be a vfp weakness.
