You're going to have to give us more information. Where is it crashing?
Have you debugged it?
Likely you're overrunning a buffer, which, with the previous order, just
happens to allow the pointer to hit the next buffer, and so doesn't
cause a crash in one order, but does cause one in another.
As for "range of ugly errors," no one can help you unless you tell us
what those errors are.
