Just as a guess, I would say that you need to monitor your servers memory allocation while sending out a message. Your list may have outgrown the current resources.
If this happens, then corruption can creep into your database and you may need to rebuild it. Do a database check. Also dump out your user list and store it in a backup - if it dumps out with no problems. Good Luck. Hope you find the answers soon.
