Suddenly, preview file cannot be found

I have several projects that consist of thousands of stills, but I encountered this same error in projects that only contained a hundred or so stills.

I'll try to do a preview and it'll chug along for a while, then suddenly stop and pop up a window that it cannot find a particular preview file. I can either try to find the file (there is no such file), or I tell it to ignore the error and simply restart the preview process.

What makes this annoying is that there were no preview files. This is a new preview, so why the heck would it even bother looking for something?

It's especially bothersome because some of my sequences are hundreds of 1-frame stills of animation. This error message pops up like an amphetamine-dosed beagle puppy whenever I try to preview these things. It takes less time to simply render the darn movie!

Does anyone else encounter this? If so, have you found any sort of solution?

Cheers,
