A memory leak somewhere? How does it mess things up? What exactly do you 
do when you restart it? I mean, do you quit the program and start it up 
again, or do you just stop the render?

What do you mean by "particles flying all over the place"? Were there 
more particles than there should have been, or was there the proper 
number of particles, just scattered all over?

I will try out your code later, though I don't see any obvious problems 
with it.
