this almost sounds like a memory corruption problem... it doesn't rear its head until some code in the corrupted area tries to execute... these can be very hard to track down... sometimes debug builds can hide the problem for a longer while for various reasons... we've seen similar bugs in the 20 year old flightgear simulator... some of them have taken months and months and months to track down... in each case debug backtraces were where the indications of corruption were found... eventually, a cause would be located and fixed and the chase for the next one would start...

sometimes it is a data or code alignment problem... sometimes a buffer overrun... sometimes it has been a counter variable that's gone negative and not been checked...
