I don't see anything obvious in your code but I'm only seeing a piece of
it.  I suggest you try making an SSCCE and duplicating your problem or
maybe it will help you discover an answer.  Oh and formatting your code 
a little more neatly would help too.  Post an SSCCE here if you can't 
get it to work.
