Frame crashes when importing large XML file

[Diane Gaskill]

Hi Jeremy,

Excellent question.  Yes, we validated the file with Oxygen before importing
it into FM.  Here is the procedure we are using.

1.  Validate the XML in the Oxygen editor

2.  Drag and drop the Validated XML file to the work area of FrameMaker 8.
The Use Structured Application dialog box appears.

3.  From the drop-down list, select Hitachi-RAID (EN), and then click
Continue. (This uses a custom XSL file from our tools group)

4.  An error message "Validation of XML file failed." appears.  We ignore
the message and click OK to continue processing. The Save Book dialog box
appears.

5.    In the Save as type  field, we select Book (*.book). Enter any file
name and then click Save.

Diane

Adding to Art's thought, have you tried validating the file,
to see if there is a well-formedness error or other such
problem from which Frame can't recover?

I do suspect you're pushing some internal limit here.
The 250 is suspiciously close to 255... the max value
of a byte, a limit a careless programmer could have
imposed unknowingly, possibly in EDD processing.
