Thanks for the response!

I looked back through the rerun dialog stats and found another instance of
this.  Probably pointless, but included are the stats.  Both occurences are
on the same scene but I have not yet been able to reproduce it again.
Unfortunately its a somewhat slow to render scene and so has only been
rerendered a few times so far.  Will get back if I find anything.
