I've heard this happening, if you edit your code, while you are in Debug mode. I rarely ever use it, maybe that's why i haven't seen it yet. Bring your machine and FlexBuilder into a clean state and from then on, whenever you edit your code, stop a running debug session and switch to the development mode.
