Crashes in Debug (random) but not release

I have an issue when running in debug mode, the program will "crash" with
either the "data misalignment" or "access violation" errors. When I run it
in release, everthing seems fine. The other odd thing is that the place it
crashes in debug mode seems random. Sometimes if I execute a particular
line with
"F10", it will throw the exception. The next time, if I hit "F5" past the
same line, or "F11" and step through it won't crash at all, or it will crash
in a different place. If I change a piece of source code, recompile, and
run again, it will crash in a
different spot. It seems like the executable file or maybe a library that I
am linking in is corrupt or misaligned when generating a debug build. Is
this possible? Has anyone seen anything similar? Thanks.
