Hiccups with Hive Arp in Pro Tools 10

I keep getting some scrambled notes when using the arp in Hive. I also have Podolski and don't get the same issues with its arp. It usually starts happening towards the end of a 2.5 to 3 minute song. I am utilizing the quantisizer to ensure grid alignment (and to make up for my poor timing) - regardless, it happens with the quant on or off. Any ideas?

By the way, I wanted to mention that I emailed U-He on this matter shortly after posting, and U-He responded very quickly - twice in one day, which made me feel valued as a customer. I've spent many hours these past few weeks perusing the forum, especially as it pertains to Zebra2, and while I do come across the token belligerents and pessimists, this forum and U-He, in particular, are pretty inspiring. To that end, I didn't want to leave my post as "unanswered," which could be misleading to any potential U-He users, as my issue was quickly addressed by their customer service.

So what was your solution? I'm having the same issue which is very frustrating because I love Hive's sequencer! If anybody has a fix I'd be very grateful to hear it.

U-he was unable to put their finger on it, and probably for good reason. And I'm only going to be able to help you if you have Pro Tools - and maybe even specifically PT 10.
Hive was the only plugin whose arp was being erratic, and I simply gave up on Hive. Over the course of the next few months, I bought several more plugins, including Zebra2, and they all functioned fine. Then I bought ArcSyn, and its LFO sequencer did the same thing as Hive!
After doing much research on the internet, I found a similar problem on the PT forum, and, for me, it ended up being a PT problem, and possibly a combination of PT/my Mac Mini, but I'll never know that.
It was said in the post that the erratic behavior they were experiencing with their plugin was fixed by setting the processors used to one in the setup engine - which worked for me! Hive no longer had the hiccups. Unfortunately, setting up to a single processor made it impossible for me to record multiple tracks without getting errors and crackling.
Not solely because of that, I ended up switching from PT to Logic (the best thing I ever did), and on my same computer, the AU version of Hive (and ArcSyn) works just fine - so my conclusion was that it wasn't my computer, wasn't Hive, but that it was Pro Tools - with a caveat that it might have been a combo of PT and my computer...I don't know how scientific that conclusion is, but it doesn't really matter to me - I now have a functioning Hive, and while that wasn't my goal in switching to Logic, it begs the question of whether PT was the culprit.
Hope that helps - if you have Pro Tools.
Edited to add: I guess that also "begs the question" why only Hive (and ArcSyn) for me? What is their programming lacking or supplementing in their AAX that doesn't exist in the rest of U-he's plugins? And one can surmise that since this affects a small population of U-he consumers, it's not worth the time to fix.
