WAV file jumped from 27 mb to 3.9 gb ?

Had a scare last week with the project.
Finally solved it few nights ago.
My project started acting inconsistent, would not open or opened then immediately shut down.
When it did open, after minutes of loading, the system and application resources were at 100 to 98% for minutes before dropping down to 20-30%.
I could make some adjustments, but it still sometimes shutdown with no error message?
Contacted support, they made the usual suggestion (use wavert, increase latency, etc) . Just didn't make any sense, since this project and all other projects had been working well with this current settings. It seemed like something was wrong with this specific project.
I created a zip file of the project to transfer to my laptop. Same results.
I dug deep into the project and looked at the *.wav files.
Surprisingly 1 file had jumped from 27 mb to 3.9 gb! . Never experienced this before.
Opening this wav in media player I was able to determine that it was a backup vocal track. And it seemed like media player still had issue determining the length of the file. Original track was only 8 bars, but I suspect this wav was hours (?) long.
I have no idea why or how it got this way. I deleted that file and everything is back to normal, after I had the load skip the file and deleted the track entirely.
I just had to to sing into the can again.
Anyone else experience this?
