I couldn't begin to guess what's happening at the OS level, but I know that there is some sort of timing issue under certain circumstances. I've used pause to solve some problems as well, though the situation was different ... running eeps I think. I've also had eeps and triggers executing simultaneously, with both reading the same error variable. My experience is more directly related to Ian's post earlier under "Re: is this a problem with RBase 2000 v6.5++ ??" which is closely related to this.
