This is really strange--I wouldn't trust the fix because it might be fixing
the symptom instead of the underlying problem, which could lead to
unexplained crashes later on.  Try to narrow down the exact line of
offending code or post the whole function to the list.  It's been some time
since I've used edit fields and buttons myself but someone is bound to find
the problem.
