I cannot access the security editor any longer from my application. I am getting the following error:

BusinessLayerException
 An error occurred while refreshing the data from field 'SFSPreferencesBO.sp_PwMaxLength' to property 'Value' on control 'nudMaxLength.'
TargetInvocationException
 Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException
 Value of '0' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'.
Parameter name: Value

(trace snipped)

The wierd thing is I can access the permissions project just fine from the "Role Based Security" editor in VS.

Is there a setting that is corrupt somewhere?
