That is, I am not "resetting" these data structures once I am done with one problem and move on to the next. If I ran each case individually, I get no error; the error comes when I run these problems sequentially without resetting the SNES after each problem.<br>

<br>
</span> This is exactly the issue. Independent of VIs if you change the size of a problem you pass to SNES you need to call SNESReset() between each call of a different sizes.<br>
<span><br>
> Originally I was thinking about creating/destroying SNES for each problem but I was wondering if that might affect performance.<br>
<br>
</span> Using SNESReset() is the way you should do it. Creating and destroying it each time should only be a tiny, immeasurably slower.<br>
