Category Page in Administrator Goes Blank

[act242]

Logged completely out.

Logged back in.

Cleared all Joomla caches.  Cleared all expired caches.

Went to Virtuemart - clicked on the Categories.  Came up at once.  Clicked products - products were displayed.  Clicked on Categories again - blank page.

Maddening.

This has something wirh cache to do. Maybe some illegal cache call.

Turn off cache plugin, settings, yes everything that could possibly use cache.

Everything is turned off.  Still having the issue.

Only gets thrown on VM.  Is there a cache-hungry process going on?

[act242]

This issue continues.

I have turned off every cache.  I have searched Google for every line of code.  This only trips on Virtuemart.  Any ideas?
