Benjamin,
  It is not really possible to explain what is going on without seeing 
the project. Please send the *.tpf file as well as any other files that 
are needed in order to run the project. Please include a clear 
indication of specific times during the simulation at which you see the 
behavior occurring. Please send the files directly to me and please do 
not copy them to the entire mailing list.
regards,
  David
