FM8 crashing when book building

[Kanti.Mann at schange.com]

Hello all: 

I'm just testing FM 8 for our group: we are still using FM6. 

In two tests with existing books, the first (a long doc plan w/several 
chapters), opened and built fine. 

The next book (a user manual with index) crashes frame consistently. 
Narrowed this down to the index.  Even removing index and recreating is 
fine until I use our index template.  Someone suggested looking at 
reference pages, which I did, noting that all template files have 
identical ref pages: lots of old stuff on them, including equations, 
callout numbers, etc. 

Anyone else seen this? 

Any other ideas appreciated. 

Thanks.
