Has anyone else had issues since upgrading to 0.7.53?

Some have been with the Extract ISBN plugin - which I attribute to its usage of the new PDF engine and am more than willing to deal with. However, even with the plugin sometimes the entire application crashes with "Windows has encountered an error..."

Also, when I merge books it seems like it often crashes with "Windows has encountered an error..."

I've also started running into "Out of Memory" errors when editing PDF files around 20MB in size when I edit the title or author. (I assume because this causes a reorganization on disk of where the file is located.) I have 8GB of RAM, Windows 7, and generally have 60% memory free at the time according to Task Manager.

Just a moment ago I was editing the metadata on a DejaVu file and it hard locked on me when I tried to save the changes. I can't even end the process via Task Manager -- it's still running in the background. I'll need to reboot to end it.

Is there a log file somewhere that I can turn on for the "Windows has encountered an error" crashes? And where I can get more than a stack trace for the "Out of Memory" errors?

Prior to 0.7.53 I _never_ had a crash.

Thanks for any help.
