Return misplacing values?

Hello All,

I am having a fairly strange bug. I have a multiple file program that 
keeps crashing out on the return values from functions.  

Example Code:
----------------------------------------------
File 1:  (dogprog.exw)
---------------
include walkthedog.ew

integer dog

dog = 1 

dog = sniffhydrant(dog)

...


File 2: (walkthedog.ew)
---------------
global function sniffhydrant(integer doggie)

  doggie += 1

  return doggie

end function
----------------------------------------

In this example it would crash on "return doggie" saying that doggie
has no value.  At least, thats what ex.err is telling me.  The strange 
part is that it isn't consistently doing this.  Only after a few hundred 
iterations or so.  I am using Eu 2.5

Now obviously if this was a euphoria bug someone else would have to of 
noticed this by now.  What are some directions I can look to find the 
cause of this bug? 

I am using a timer in this program.  Could it be ticking and dropping 
the value?  (Shot from left field!)

Thanks in advance!
