Comments Broken – and breaking page

I just got the latest version of WPPA and lo and behold my comments on photos are breaking with a new one is added. I could also go into the fact that shortcode embedded in a widget that was previous working is also broken but I can live with that for now (I already did a workaround). That said – is there any reason comments which where magically working might suddenly not work? My OLD comments are still there but adding a new comment craps out the page completely (returns a blank page with no image, no comments, no nothing) Also the new comments are not remembered at all. Hmmmm

Very sad panda but hopefully there is an easy solution I’m missing.
