I narrowed down the error to the getTextExtent routine and then tried to
work up a small program that demonstrates the error but couldn't come up
with a small program to reproduce the error.

This might be a lot to ask, but if you're willing you could download the
timesheet program I submitted from the archives.  The routine printSheet 
is where the error is happening but only when trying to print twice. At
this point I can't reproduce the error in a small program.  And maybe
that's just it...my timesheet program does quite a bit of printing.
