PowerPivot Paste Append causes Excel Crash

I have tried several work arounds, PC's etc, checked all the forums, I'm at a loss.
I have pasted an Excel table into PowerPivot table. When I add subsequent months of data, via Paste Append, (using the exact same format as the initial table) to the existing table, everything works fine.
However if I add more than one calculated columns to the PowerPivot table, when I Paste Append a new month of data, Excel crashes with a black box and the error message:
SQLDUMPER.EXE
Unable to open file \\?\C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\AS OLEDB\10\FlightRecorderCurrent.trc, error 2
I can Paste Replace the same data table which works fine. However I am adding 80,000 lines of data every month and my PC won't handle a Paste Replace to put in more than 6mths of data.
When I delete the calculated columns, and then Paste Append a new month of data, PowerPivot works again. At the moment I am using the workaround; deleting all the calculated columns then Paste Appending the data, and then inserting the calculated columns again.
I'm working with Windows 7 32bit, Excel 2010.
I have also tried the Paste Append on a completely unrelated 64bit machine, and I get the same error.
Anyone else experience this? Is it something I'm doing or a PowerPivot bug?
