crashing errors in mobigen

I've tried to build a book I scanned and ocred three different ways.

1. I used bd2mobi and had problems. first I couldn't get past the file validator, and got sent back to the syntax use declaration. For this attempt I had the hltm0 file, bd2mobi.exe and mobigen.exe all in the same directory. Finally I tried bd2mobi but sent the target file to the original BD LastFile directory instead, and got some action. This generated a crashing error in mobigen (some kind of access violation, I think. I'm not enough of a developer to dig into the debug of mobigen.) twice.
AppName: mobigen.exe AppVer: 4.8.8.7 ModName: mobigen.exe
ModVer: 4.8.8.7 Offset: 000dbe90



2. I went back and tried to follow HarryT's instruction doc as close as possible - reopened BD and saved as htm, opened the file in notepad and changed the justify, set the anchors, and set the mbpagebreak . When I got to Mobipocket Creator and tried to build, I again got a crashing bug, nothing is created and what appears to be the same exception, and Creator closes.
AppName: creator.exe AppVer: 4.2.39.0 ModName: msvcr80.dll
ModVer: 8.0.50727.762 Offset: 00014580

3. went back and tried mobigen directly, using the html file generated in step 2. same exception.

AppName: mobigen.exe AppVer: 4.8.8.7 ModName: mobigen.exe
ModVer: 4.8.8.7 Offset: 000dbe90

Since the book is a copyrighted file, I can't post it here. It's pretty basic, no images etc. Any idea what's causing the stupid thing to croak? Note that while the prc isn't pretty, the one I build from Book Designer is readable on my Gen3, but doesn't have the standard toc, etc.
