Don't worry, it will undoubtedly come back sooner or later and you'll
get another chance to hunt it down. Problems that go away by themselves
come back by themselves.

Your description of the problem sounds like a memory overwrite,
typically caused by writing through a bad pointer, running off the end
of allocated space, or freeing the same memory block more than once.
Those things often don't cause problems immediately, but, instead, cause
problems that show up in other places, and move when you change
unrelated code. If that's what's happening, the import statement didn't
cause the problem. Removing it simply made the symptom that you were
seeing go away.
