Yep, that's why I set the subject to "Converting *big* multi-file HTML doc" -- emphasis on "big".

It shouldn't be, there's 4GB for it to play with (and a Q6600 CPU overclocked to 3GHz, so plenty of CPU horsepower too)...

Though that said, the WXP version got to 2GB then died quite horribly, so maybe something similar is happening here. I'm not going to shout "bug!" because IMHO that's a bit like shouting "fire!" in a crowded theatre
