How old is the paint? Is it old stuff with some solvents, or is it the new stuff with low VOCs??? The new paints usually don't have fungicides, etc... in them, so they can grow "weird things"... (old latex paints usually had solvents at, I think it was at least 9%...and they also had fungicides to inhibit molds and other organic compounds...) If it's old paint, I'd say the solvents caused the "explosion" and if it is a low-VOC paint, I would suspect some form of volatile organic compound. But that's just Croc's 2 cents worth.... ;-}>
