Catalog error on creation

Hi,

I am experiencing the following error upon an attempt to create a catalog. It must have to do with specific books, not the size of the catalog, because I can create much bigger catalogs that this one (some 300 books only). I ascertained that the problem lies within these 331 books. If I exclude them, then I do not get an error.

How do I figure out which book is the culprit?

Thanxx for any help,

Mixx

Here is the trace:
