I'm pretty sure I know where it's happening. In cases like this I usually use a "soft seek" technique (for want of a better term). If I know roughly where the problem happens I insert STRTOFILE( ) calls at the beginning, end and at likely places in between, which create a log file with entries something like
Step 1 reached
Step 2 reached
...
Step n reached
Usually I find something like Step 2 is reached but Step 3 isn't. Then I salt the instructions between them with more calls. Iterating through a "pseudo-binary" approach like that you can fairly quickly zero in on the call causing the failure (as long as it's consistently reproducible).
