I think you'll need to post your code, if that's possible.  Otherwise, there are so many reasons it could be failing.  Is it small enough of a program that you can post it here?  If not, can you trim it down in size to the point that you can?

In the absence of seeing what you've written, there are a few things which come to mind:

But these are just thoughts ... I think once you post an actual example of the code, and especially if it's something that can be duplicated by one of the others here, you'll likely be pleased with how quickly we can help you detect the problem.
