Adding cck field breaks non-related view?

Hi,

I'm using drupal 7.0 (noticed this same issue in 7.2) and I have a weird issue. If I add completely new cck fields to one of my content types it seems to break a view that affects almost all pages on my site. If I delete that field, sometimes I have to delete another, and flush cache it seems to work again. This is the error below. Anyone run into this?

Thanks,
