I have a very large application that uses several nested vPaned
widgets.  

At (seemingly) random intervals, we get core dumps while inside
vPaned code.  Because of the randomness, it makes me think about
memory problems.

Debugging inside vPaned code reveals that sometimes the num_panes
variable of the vPane gets set to something like 76899847, or
the like.  I cannot detect where the problem is happening, but
once this variable is munged a core dump is inevitable.

The Question:  Have other people had similar problems with vPane?
               Has anyone come up with a fix?

			     Thanks,
