richard,

if you hope to resolve these issues, you need to create a reduced  
testcase that demonstrates each issue.
a reduced testcase should only include code that is essential.
then file a bug and wait....
it may be worth checking the bug is not already filed.

transient phenomenon can be particularly tricky.

best wishes
