I may be misunderstanding the situation, but...What about other scripts? Do they have the same problem, or is it just this one?

Logically speaking, if no other scripts exibit this behavior, it's probably something funky with this script that's causing the problem. Its happened to me before and I ended up having to go through my code with a fine-tooth comb.
