sketchmanager.fullydefinsketch CRASHES!!!

So, i've got a bit of code that is placing points in a sketch that is consumed by a hole wizard.  The hole wizard is already created and I have programmatically 'gone back into the sketch' to add more points.  This all works great. 

Now, I'm trying to take advantage of the 'fullyDefinSketch' method.  I begin editing the sketch, select all the points in the sketch, clear the selection list, select the origin, try to 'fully define the sketch', watch it crash.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?  Here's the code snippet

            'clearing the selection list

            swModel.ClearSelection2(True)

            'selecting the sketch I want to edit

            bool = swModel.Extension.SelectByID2(sketchname, "SKETCH", 0, 0, 0, False, 0, Nothing, 0)

            'editing the sketch

            swModel.EditSketch()

            'clearing the selection list

            swModel.ClearSelection2(True)

            'getting all the points in the sketch

            vSkSegArr = swSketch.GetSketchPoints2

            'looping through the points in the sketch and selecting each one.

            'I do this is based on a successful macro I recorded

            For Each ob As Object In vSkSegArr

                Dim sPoint As SketchPoint = ob

                sPoint.Select(True)

            Next

            'clearing the selection list again.  Again, because the recorded macro said to do it

            swModel.ClearSelection2(True)

            'selecting the origin so I can assign it a marker of 6

            bool = swModel.Extension.SelectByID2("Point1@Origin@" & EditedPart.Name & "@" & Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(swModel.GetPathName), "EXTSKETCHPOINT", 0, 0, 0, True, 6, Nothing, 0)

            Dim result As Long

            Dim hDatumObj As Object = Nothing

            Dim vDatumObj As Object = Nothing

            Try

                '______________________________________________

                '

                'this is where the code crashes.  It crashes so hard that my try-catch block can't even catch it!

                '

                result = swModel.SketchManager.FullyDefineSketch(True, True, 1023, True, 3, hDatumObj, 3, vDatumObj, -1, -1)

                '

                'result -KABOOM!!!!!

                '

            Catch ex As Exception

                MsgBox(ex.ToString)

            End Try
