Playlist causes "General Error"

Question

I have completed a DVD project including 3 timelines.
I added a playlist, put the three timelines into that list and linked a button in my main menu to the playlist.
When building a DVD folder or disc image the process halts with "General Error" message.
If I remove the button link to the playlist, or the timelines from the playlist I still get the same error.
If I remove the playlist altogether the project builds fine.
If I simply create "new playlist" and add nothing to it or links to it and try to build I again get the "General Error" message.
Any ideas?

Oh my goodness, this thread has just saved my bacon! I have been creating a project with 7 videos and 9 language subtitle tracks. We have a short animated title sequence for each video in each language, so I was using playlists to play these before playing the relevant subtitles version of a particular video. Got the dreaded General Error message when I went to build the disc. Spent 27 hours over the weekend rebuilding the project twice and saving at different stages, but it always started corrupting at some point when adding the playlists (I have 63 of them). Third time round I got o the point where the project was fine, but if I just added one playlist it corrupted and gave me a General Error on build.
Finally I found this thread - rebuilt the project by creating the playlists first, then the timelines and menus, then finally importing and linking all the media. It works perfectly now!
Why should it make a difference what point in the process you create the playlists? That is daft and soooo frustrating.
Thank you Tim for sharing your solution as I had actually paid someone to start building the project in DVD Studio Pro as of yesterday as a backup plan.
