Vague error when merging Contacts

Hi everyone,

We've merged Contact Records many, many times. We've come across a situation where randomly, we can't merge some contacts. The error message is pretty vauge, and doesnt give an option to download the Log. On the CRM Server, I can see in the event viewer that there is an exception being thrown.

The following has been taken from the Event Viewer Log.

Any ideas?

The Web Service plug-in failed in OrganizationId: [Removed]; SdkMessageProcessingStepId: [Removed]; EntityName: contact; Stage: 30; MessageName: Merge; AssemblyName: Microsoft.Crm.Extensibility.InternalOperationPlugin, Microsoft.Crm.ObjectModel, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=[Removed]; ClassName: Microsoft.Crm.Extensibility.InternalOperationPlugin; Exception: Unhandled Exception: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
