erratic TV.print() related issue prevent arduino to run

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I really don't know, completely erratic
2. write a program, utilize some TV.print() or TV.println()
3. printing some text will prevent the arduino from running all together

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'm writing a program to have the arduino outputting video signal in loops, 
like a demo. when trying to print some text, arduino will compile and upload, 
and then start to run normally, with correct video. replacing that text with 
another, it will still compile normally, and also upload. but it will not 
output video (or running, I don't know). completely erratic

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
arduino uno board
arduino 1.0, 1.0.4, 1.0.5 (the worst case)
windows 7 Ultimate, on several computers

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm attaching the program, as it is it compiles. if you replace the line
TV.println("I'm the TVout library");
with
TV.println("Esta estacion de television");
it won't run!

I realized I uploaded the version that makes the arduino not work. replace the 
line
TV.println("Esta estacion de television");
with 
TV.println("I'm the TVout library");
and it should work. it's completely ilogical

ok, I tested it on linux (debian on raspberry pi, arduino 1.0.1), and even do 
it's not as erratic as in windows, it still has this very same behaviour, some 
text prevents the arduino board to work or to not output video

please help!! I really need this to work for a college project

I seem to be running into a similar problem. Though it seems like I'm hitting a 
limit as to how many times I can call TV.print() or TV.println() before it will 
upload the sketch, but no video is produced. If I comment out one of the print 
lines, it works.

It doesn't seem to matter what the text is.
