Hi all,
I've recently been getting an intermittent memory error in the Editor. It usually starts when I do a bug check or a fix html (all files). Once it happens, it comes up for most operations: bug check, fix html, smarten punctuation, edit toc, spell check, and so on.

There is 3.8 gig of free memory; I can go to another book and do all the functions with no problem. Come back to this book, and it is still there.

The most recent book, after saving, exiting, and editing again, it let me run the bug check just once...then anything else gave the error. That one bug check found three instances of orphan </span> endings. It would not take me to the errors--memory error on even that--so I found them manually and fixed them. Instantly, no more memory error, all back to normal. It never came back as I finished an edit session on this book.

It's happened maybe 5 out of the last 100 editing sessions, and this is the first time I've been able to recover...other times I've had to reload the book and start over.

Anybody have any ideas on this? Details:

Calibre 4.2
Ubuntu 18.04.03
Error message:

Spoiler:

TIA...
