This can come from any number of things. However, in this case I could place the debug build out there and it would work. Put the release out there again and it would fail. After looking at everything BUT the compiler options, I finally looked to see what the differences were between the build versions. In short, the Optimize Code flag was set on the release build but not on the debug. Once this flag was removed on teh release, it started working.
Once this flag was removed, life was good again!
