We ran into a problem similar to this also. If I remember correctly, the
problem was a mal-formatted credit card number in the MasterAccounts table.
I think the credit card number contained a carriage return, then two digits
after it (someone messed up when entering in the number). In another case,
there may have been something weird with the formatting of the expiration
date.

After fixing these anomolies, everything was fine.
I try to "enforce" credit card number be entered in with nothing but the
numbers and the expiration date in the form MMYY with nothing else. I even
wrote a script that runs nightly that fixes credit card expiration date
formatting to force it to MMYY if it was entered in like MM/YY, MYY, M/YY.
