Incidentally, this is a case where the building-up approach to an SSCCE
might be helpful. If you wrote an SSCCE from scratch, it could have the
right number of listviews and strings, but would probably not share any
program bugs. You could use a string generator to get the thousands of
strings in a short program.

If it runs correctly, the problem is more likely to be in your program.
If it reproduces the failure, it is more likely to be hardware or system
software.
