I can upgrade my own system, but I can't say the same for the others.

I re-checked where it crashes, it is about 500 pages in, which is just about the stack size. 8.71 crashes 30 pages before the end, which is 3170 pages in. Has the stack size been changed in this version?) > Each odd page of the document contains an image which was converted from
