Guido,

Could this be a character set issue? That is; Does your test-app use
the same character set and collation as the main-app? This could
explain the difficulty in reproducing the problem, and it seems to me
that it could also explain the error itself. If this is the case you
may need identical data in the test-app to see the same problem.

(Some of you are probably thinking I have character sets on the brain,
but I just seem to be hitting a lot of it lately :-)
