    Different sizes, up to two or three megabyte, no big files. However searching the AS Bug database returns a few crashes based on some reg. expressions. I will as soon as I have time try to fond out if they might have caused this.
    The only thing I just cannot understand is the these libraries worked fine in other tools.
    Can you tell me more about the memory problem you assume I have and possible workarounds?
    Thanks.

    Cheers,

      Usually errors like these
      AppName: test.exe AppVer: 0.81.0.0 ModName: perl58.dll ModVer: 5.8.6.811 Offset: 0008775c
      are caused because the exe uses more memory than it should, so it crash with Offset errors.
      Try to use the exe with smaller files than 500KB and see if it works.
      If it does work then break the files to smaller pieces and handle them one at a time.
      Let me know what happen.
