Very periodically, some of our forms in our MDI vb.net project will return me.parent as nothing. I’ve never seen this while debugging, but it does cause an un-handled exception on our client machines – and the form that they have open varies from case to case.
Is there any sort of event, short of a ‘me.parent = nothing’, that can cause this link to be broken?

It looks like this is replicated by closing the current form before the new form can be opened. (In my case, while a report is generating) The little hour-glass icon wasn’t apparently deterrent enough.
