I had an app exibiting random crashes. After running memory Sleuth I discovered that my TForm.Free and / Or TForm.Release statements were failing to trigger (app was a similar structure to yours). In the end I Set Action := caFree and called close instead for free, my forms then correctly released.
You may be having a similar problem but if not try running Memory Sleuth (comes with D4) and look for memory leaks.
