Bizarre. Sequence plays normally. Any ideas?

I took a look at this file. The problem is in the Master Fader track. If you delete the Master Fader the sequence end time jumps to bar 380. If you try to view the master fader track event list DP crashes. So I don't know how it happened but it appears the master fader track somehow got corrupted.

Thanks, Dave and MOTU. Excellent tech support service. I've copied the automation data from the (bad) Master Fader track and pasted it into a new one. Seems OK.
