Wendy,

This could be caused by improper definitions of the parametes in the receive
data q call thus corrupting memory.  Double-check that they are right, if
your not sure then post your definitions here.  By recompiling the program
you may have changed how all the fields are laid out in memory thus making
the program act differently, it was doing the same thing before but
corrupting an area of memory that wasn't readily apparent.
