I understand perfectly.

It does look like something's throwing an exception and it's just not being caught at an informative place.
There's been a lot of "crashy" stuff reported/fixed with the Reports feature lately, but it's usually been the result of one of the underlying documents being altered while the Reports dialog is still open (and subsequently refreshed).

Anything you can provide would be helpful. And if it takes longer than a day, then it takes longer.
