Default xlDialogWorkbookMove crashing Excel

xl2010
Win XP Pro SP3

A while back I created a macro to create and massage a new worksheet,
then show the built-in Move/Copy worksheet dialog so I could specify
where to move the new worksheet.

I've used the macro several times since. Now it's crashing "after" using
the built-in dialog xlDialogWorkbookMove. I say after, because after xl
recovers, the sheet was moved correctly in the recovered workbooks.

I can invoke the dialog from the UI, and all is well.
It doesn't matter if I use xlDialogWorkbookMove or xlDialogWorkbookCopy,
the same symptoms occur.

If I cancel, no error.
If I copy, no error.
If I move, the move is completed, but xl Crashes.

When the error first occurred, I got an error pop-up but I didn't write
down the error number. After adding On Error Resume Next, I no longer
get the error pop-up, but I never reach the next statement, either
(using VBE debugger to single-step.)

Now, I removed the On Error Resume Next to capture the error message for
this post, but I'm no longer getting the error pop-up ?!

I did a shutdown / restart ... no joy.

I created this bare bones procedure, and it also falls over as described
above.


Option Explicit

Sub x()
Dim vv
Dim v
On Error Resume Next
v = Application.Dialogs(xlDialogWorkbookMove).Show
Set vv = Err
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub


My original code included only the single statement

Application.Dialogs(xlDialogWorkbookMove).Show

at the end of the procedure. I tried adding the [ v = ... ] and the
error trapping just to see if it made any difference.

Any suggestions?

Memory and/or other hardware trouble beginning in my long-in-the-tooth
desktop?

Interference from some recent automatic windows update?
