Explosion causes XSI to explode..

Explosion causes XSI to explode..

Hi list,
Another particle problem here.

I have a scene, a cylinder as an emitter and explosion with only smoke, that's
all.
The scene has about 80 frames. (I don't think number of frames matters here...)
After some test renders, I restarted my machine and opened that scene again
but somehow it just crashed with no possible reason. XSI shuts down or freezes.

I remade the scene from scratch, ALL over again and this time, all I did was
I opened a different scene and re-opened the explosion scene.... and CRASH!
I haven't worked on that scene for that short period of time and somehow,
after couple of minutes, the scene was corrupted and was causing XSI to crash.

I made a new scene and redid most of the settings (offsetting the start time,
particle rate, rotoscope, etc.) but this new scene has no problem. I tried
merging the
'corrupted' scene but XSI freezes everytime. I deleted the explosion ptp files
but
when I open the 'corrupted' scene, it re-generates a 1KB ptp files.

Had someone else faced the same problem before? I can make a third scene (of
course, it
would be faster this time to achieve the result because I almost have the
settings in my mind
because I had worked on it twice already...:)

Thanks for any help.
Eriya
