Turning on special offers breaks the home page

Hi,
A site that has been running and working fine is now breaking when Special Offers are switched on, but only on the home page.

I've hunted through the code looking for missing semi-colons or similar, but I can't see anything wrong, and anything that I've modified in here previously has been tested and working, and had nothing to do with special offers code?

The home page, when it renders, outputs the header and top menu, the side menu, and most of the centre column, which gets as far as

<!-- bof: featured products  -->
<!-- eof: featured products  -->

The right side menu and the footer are missing entirely.

I'm thinking that the special offer code should come after the featured products code on the page, and something is broken somewhere, but I'm lost as to where to look in the file structure.

No modifications have been made to any special offer code or special offer template pages.

This only breaks on the home page, other pages (including the Special offers listing page) work fine!

There have been modifications made to the product_info_display page, but that has been working fine since it was changed, and I can't see anything in there related to special offers?

The site is a private development site currently so I can't give a link to see the page, but if you need a copy of the rendered code to try and help, please let me know?

Cheers,
Rob
