According to the docs, Hide() is the same as Release() in that it nominally causes a modal form to "resume" (look at the docs for "Show"). I suspect it's the problem.
You could perhaps set the form's .Visible property instead.
One other possibility would be if the second modal form is not releasing properly, or the first form holds a reference to the second that is not released before the second form is (i.e. dangling reference).
