I have downloaded their data and run it here in the office on a pentium workstation running from a NT server. (They are also running NT server)
The problem can not be reprodeced here.
It seems to me to be a definate 'environment' problem. One thing that jumped out at me about their environment was the use of AMD processors on the workstations...
Thanks,
