Added 3 widget areas, 1 will not save

I am lost please help. I created 3 new widget areas for a custom home page template. Registered them all in functions.php and they show up in admin panel. First 2 widgets work fine, but 3rd one I drop a widget in it, click save and then view site and it is gone. Happens in FF and Chrome. WP Versions 2.8 and 2.9. Plugins deactivated. Trying it on the default theme even, still fail. Is this code wrong somehow? Thank you.
Link to code just in case. Pastie Here

		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
