Maxium Number of Layouts?

Is there a limit to the number of layouts in a single database?

I've got 1 file that if I go through the layouts by View->Go To Layout and pick the layout I want, it will bring me to that layout for say the top 2/3 of all the layouts. Beyond that, I choose a layout and it brings me to the last layout, not the one I chose.

Platform? OSX or Win?
Version of Filemaker?
Number of layouts?
Do you have a known good backup of the database?
Does the backup exhibit the same problem?
Have you tried a recover of the database?
!!questions!!

Number of layouts per file: Limited by disk space or maximum file size.

Windows (XP and 2003)
FMS10 & FM10
348 layouts
all copies of the file show the problem
tried to "Compact" the file, but not recover it

Not a project I created, just something I "inherited" and am working with.

Example - I choose layout #10, and it goes to #10. Same with 1 - (say) 200. Anything beyond that, it jumps to #348 rather than the layout I choose.

Recover File did find some problems but didn't fix the issue. Layouts have unique, non-number names.
I can [CRTL] DownArrow through them all, and the "solution" navigation works OK. Database Design Report fails.
