Bad Spot in the world (FS9 world)

This is a screen capture of the location (From FSFK map) which my Flight PHNL to NZAA has been killed each time I fly the route.
And even a couple tries to restart flying from this spot (approximate spot) results in immediate FS9 crash to desktop.
Upon reaching this spot, FS9 just disappears and FSFK stay running (w/o FS9).
The flight in question PHNL-NZAA has yet to be completed because I can't get past this spot (S15*41.6541' / W173*36.1306'), it is uncross-able... (By me at least.)
Anyone like to take a guess what the deal is? ... I'm stumped

I have a similar problem when leaving KSEA. When I get near the waypoint ELMAA, my FS9 crashes to desktop every time, no matter what aircraft I am flying. I tried deleting FlyTampa Seattle to see if that was it, and it still does it. No reason why that I can figure out. Guess there are a few computer glitches out there we will never figure out. Now, I avoid departures or arrivals into Seattle that will go near the ELMAA waypoint.

Sorry to hear that guys. Did you try to reinstall the scenere part of FS9? Does the crash happen on its own or when something else is running (AS, FSFK)?
As for ELMAA... As long as you don't fly to Hawaii or San Francisco, you should be fine... Even then, ask the controller for an alternate routing to either place and I am sure that they will help you out if you tell them the reason. If not, tell them that I said it was OK!

Could it have anything to do with the international date-line?
Looking on a globe it appears to be very close to the date-line, in the area where it jogs around Samoa, away from the 180 degree longitude. It seems near the location where the line is on an angle (during the jog). Would the date change mess-up FSFK or FS9?
My only hunch

I took the flight last saturday and yesterday and managed to pass that same point after a few tries. Just like you my FS crashed and I stopped flying saturday. After that I discovered that I could restart FS and start the flight just minutes before the crash (FS autosave). Yesterday I flew the same flight and it happened again. I restarted FS9 minutes before the crash and disabled the isec I was flying too, UBRAX is the isec. I diabled VNAV and I flew around that isec and continued the flight plan and landed save at Auckland NZAA.
There seems to be an Bermuda Triangle there somewhere
