OUCH!! This one's gonna' bite you in the arse eventually. You're program is
doing a wild write into memory. Change the environment and you could see some
nasty *a*ffects.

the debugger the environment was changed enough that the affect of this "null

Don't let this ride. It is something that you need to find!
