FATAL ERROR - Applet 17 with certain png's

[OneNineStudios]

Here's the setup I'm working with
Netbeans 5.5
S40 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 SDK

Here's what's going on with our game: We have a canvas size title screen which is shown only once. With the original png file everything works fine. However, when trying to replace it with a new png file (using the same format, etc) strange things occur. We go into the main game from the front end, then, out of nowhere, the emulator crashes and I get one of those popups with the error message:
"S40_SDK_3rd_Edition_Feature_Pack_2_em.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

And I'm forced to reboot. However, if I'm quick enough and collect an item, which should bring up an overlay with the points earned, I get this series of error messages:

I've tried saving the png in multiple configurations but nothing seems to get rid of this problem. I've tried both deleting the png from memory and keeping it around but it makes no difference. It's very strange because according to the files they are exactly the same other than the actual image itself. Why a png that has nothing to do with the in game would cause problems I have no idea but I can't been able to find any more information. Is this a known issue or am I just out of luck?
Thank you. If you need any more information please let me know.

This may sound like a lousy answer, but unless you get a better one, use another emulator.

It can be easy to waste hours or days chasing emulator bugs, that don't happen on a real phone. The devices will give you enough problems. Use the emulator in the WTK, or a Series 40 emulator, or a Sony Ericsson emulator.

actually, thats not a lousy answer, it was exactly what I was gonna ask (have u tried another emulator?)
or we're both lousy, thats the other option :P
