FM8 crashing when book building

[Kanti.Mann at schange.com]

Hello Alan (and Kelly) 

Kelly: your book's symptoms are exactly the same as mine: an unformatted 
index (I believe) survives. 

Alan: I shall check the char formats, but that's a good possibility. 
Thanks. 

Does anyone know if this has been reported?  I've been having difficulty 
finding anything on the adobe support site, including the 8.0.1 upgrade 
(which I managed to get from another list).

Does the book specify character formats in the index markers? That is 
likely to be the culprit. This is a rather nasty FrameMaker 8 bug.
