I've been having this problem for a while now.
I'm trying to make an elevator out of a few linked prims. The whole thing is a physical object, made of a thin cylinder floor and ceiling, and a hollowed out cylinder wall. The wall is path cut from 0 to 0.9 when the elevator door is open and 0 to 1 when its closed.
I've been using the llSetLinkPrimitiveParams function on the door/wall to open and close it, but every once in a while, the link breaks when the function gets called. Since its a physical object, the results are not a lot of fun.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

Mostly likely havok being stupid. Your lucky the entire object doesn't unlink or the door evaporate. Turn off physics on the object before you change it's shape.
Course it's always possible as a result of changing it's shape you have caused the link distance to become too large.

I know all about this problem. llSetPrimitiveParams is the culprit. Your object will become unlinked and the prims other than the root sent to 0,0. I can make this happen at will by overflowing your prim count on the parcel, but it also seems to just happen at random from time to time if you have an object that frequently calls llSetPrimitiveParams. This is most definitely a bug, you're not doing anything wrong.
