Good day and a Merry Christmas to everyone,

I like to mention a bug in Acid Pro version 7.0e. It's easily reproducible.

1: Just beatmap any song in mp3 or wave format.
2: Once done, right-click on the beatmapped track, select "clip properties"
3: Click on the "Stretch" tab and right-click on top of the waveform to "Insert Beatmap Marker"
4: Create exactly 103 "Beatmap Markers".
5: After you create the 104th, Acid Pro would hang. Forcing you to quit the application

This bug will happen on any beatmapped mp3 file. I haven't tried on .pca format files yet. I currently use Windows 7 64 bit. This bug also occured on my previous Windows XP (32-bit) machine as well. Luckily, the Event Viewer logged the error and hopefully it can help the software engineers. Here is what the Event Viewer mentioned:

Hopefully this can get fixed in a forthcoming patch.
