<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=517262620-29062011>I have two books
that share all the same chapter files that have lots of conditions. I inherited
all of the content, but created the separate books to handle different covers
(was too hard to use conditions; long story).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=517262620-29062011>The last 3 times
I've tried generate PDFs, I've had the same problem. After I set the conditions
as I want for the book and print to .ps (yes, I always use the old-fashioned
print to .ps, then distill process), FM crashes. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=517262620-29062011>The only thing
that I've found that works to get the crashing to stop feels like I have to
"train" FM that it's OK to print these files to .ps. I open each file in the
book individually and print to .ps. After I do that for each file (with no
problems at any time doing so), both books will print just
fine.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

yesterday, made a few minor changes today, and got the crashing again.
