READNEXT returns trash (AREV Specific)

We have a program that performs a number of selects on a few indexed files to produce several reports during one execution. Occasionally, after one of the selects the READNEXT statement is getting some garbage from somewhere and putting it in the variable. Often it looks suspiciously like a file handle, but not always. Also, it is not always the same SELECT/READNEXT section that takes the hit.
Rebooting the workstation (the sadly all too common "solution" these days) clears it up for a while, only to have it recur days or hours later. It happens on all workstations in the group. The process is run three or four times daily, and the problem can occur at any invocation. We can't seem to identify any relationship to other programs on the taskbar when the error occurs. How's that for something defying identification?
Environment is: Win95 with "properly" configured shortcut. AREV 3.12. NLM 1.5. NetWare 4.11. AREV invoked with /X /M4096.
Thanks for any advice or things to try. "More info" requests kindly accepted and fulfilled.

Jim,
The readnext is being resolved on the server by the
LH NLM, so it's probably not workstation related.
I have seen this readnext error happen where selects
occur in a symbolic without push.select(a,b,c,d)
happening first and pop.select(a,b,c,d) happening after.
