It's OK, Gunnar, you're not going crazy <g>  I too have seen
  this (twice at one site, out of hundreds).  I never got to
  the bottom of why it happens, but as you say, the common
  factor seems to be that the alias has been open for some
  time.  A test for the alias returned .t. every time, my
  error handler reported the file open & the index selected,
  but a dbSeek() would fail with alias not in use or index
  not open.
The solution?
Explicitly close & re-open the file in the routine where it
  failed and presto - no more crashes...
