While it may be "memory corruption", my bet is that it is of a type caused by the user doing someting that the application didn't anticipate (and so does not 'cover' with code). Resulting in things being in a "state" different than what the program expects.

I'd question the user - better still go sit with him/her - about exactly (repeat: EXACTLY) what they were doing, including describing PRECISELY what the click/hit/select when they say something. Chances are you'll find them doing something in a totally different way than you expect... or doing something else in between steps that messes things up... or doing something else, elsewhere, that is changing something in the base OS structure (such as resetting the 'current directory' or something).

good luck
