Civil 3D "bug" : QTO material list gaps. Application freezing

I had a case of three similar alignments in the same dwg.
I had to set multiple gaps for the QTO material lists.
First alignment everything worked fine.
Second and third one and by the time i applied whatever gap the application freezed.
No matter what i tried i always ended up to an eternal loop which would set the particular CPU core to work at its maximum endlessly.

I was entering the gap stations by hand. I typed them. One by one. For every alignment.
Trying to set stations to other than those of the sample lines obviously did not work. Only sample line stations are accepted. I tried to bypass it doing a graphical selection. You are only allowed to select sample lines. Not stations. So i entered all gaps graphically. And everything worked fine!!!

Still have not figured out why everything worked fine for the first alignment since i also typed by hand all stations.

Autodesk give us a break. I lost seven whole hours of my working time trying to find a solution. One step before going crazy. No solution over the internet or the Civil 3D forum. I was off time for the deliverables. My supervisor thinks i am slow and i lack of knowledge about this software. For God's shake.
