Please isolate the small possible fragment of code which we can use to
reproduce that behaviour, then post it in the newsgroup. You'll sure
get a lot of help, but it's kind of difficult with the limitied
information you give in your message.

However, the fact that your program ran fine the first time *doesn't
mean it's correct*. A buggy program can crash randomly with no aparent
reason (though there must be one, of course), and work the rest of the
time. Maybe you're using non-allocated memory, overwriting your own
code with data, or something like that.
