Error when using a RichTextBox in a C# application

[Terminal882003]

Hi,

I have a problem in my application(C#) if I using RichTextBox to
continuously display a series of text messages (using method
AppendText()). When application is running, it will stop at some point
(randomly), the error message is:

*********************************
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance
of an object.
at System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox.EditStreamProc(In tPtr dwCookie,
IntPtr buf, Int32 cb, Int32& transferred)
at System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.CallWindo wProc(IntPtr
wndProc, IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)

at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(M essage& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32
msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)
***************************

Any solution will be more than welcome.

Thanks,
Mindy

I'm getting the same problem in a VB.NET app. When the error occurs, it locks up the computer it's running on, so I can't ever tell exactly *what* was being displayed when it dies.
