As mentioned by Alan Houser, and previously reported by Mark Chulsky and 
others, there is an issue with generating/updating a book which has an 
index, with some index entries including references to character formats 
(e.g. to make some page numbers bold or to format the entry itself or 
portions thereof). I encountered this too, and added an item for it at 
www.microtype.com/FM_bugs.html  with the internal error messages reported 
(different error messages show up in different books. I have also placed a 
link to a sample book (one of the standard sample FM files) consistently 
causing a crash when the book is updated:
