NHibernate - Wrong Columns on Queries - sql

Question

I'm getting an intermittant problem with NHibernate where it generates a query for an entity, but replaces one of the columns with a column from completely different (and unrelated) entity.
It only ever replaces a single column, and is generally solved by restarting the application (though sometimes it takes a couple of attempts).
ASP.NET application (.NET 4.0)
SessionFactory created during Application_Start
NHibernate 3.3.1- All mappings/configuration done via Mapping By Code
Using Nhibernate Criteria
Any input on this would be much appreciated!

Exception
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Invalid column name 'InitialAmountUSD'.
As you can see, nhibernate has replaced the LiquiditySourceItem column 'Traderevalcurr' with 'InitialAmountUSD', which belongs to the BusinessBreakdownStandardPosition entity. These entities have no relationship whatsoever. Otherwise, the SQL is exactly as you'd expect( including column order).
Observations
The wrong column is always a valid column in a different mapped entity
The wrong column will replace an existing one
The issue sometimes ocurrs between other entities. Again, there's no relationship between these
Any thoughts?

I asked the same question on the NHibernate Users Google Groups forum, and someone thinks they have worked out the root cause (and have also proposed a solution):
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/nhusers/BZoBoyWQEvs
The problem code is in PropertyPath.Equals(PropertyPath) which attempts to determine equality by only using the hash code. This works fine for smaller code bases as the default Object.GetHashCode() returns a sequential object index. However, after garbage collection, these indices get reused as finalized objects are removed and new objects are created...which results in more than one object getting the same hashcode...Once garbage collection kicks in, property paths have a chance to share the same hashcode which means they will ultimately mix up their customizers for the colliding properties, thus the wrong column names...
If you want to fix this the bug, you can patch the NH source code:
If you have your own copy of the NH source, you can fix the bug by changing NHibernate/Mapping/ByCode/PropertyPath.cs line #66 from:
return hashCode == other.GetHashCode();
To:
return hashCode == other.GetHashCode() && ToString() == other.ToString();
Please check out the Google Group for full details of the issue.
