Verner,
If I was going to pick one thing to play with to see I could change
the crash behaviour, it would be the text insets inside tables on
master pages. That's the only thing that strikes me as possibly hard
to process in your set up from the info you provided. I haven't used
insets in tables myself, even in body pages.
Unless you've turned updates Off on those insets, I think they'd be
constantly trying to update themselves, possibly whenever a new body
page is generated from them or they're otherwise referenced by the
program. And because the insets are likely to be on a network
location, there's an additional possibility of a network delay or
timeout interrupting the process. Updating masters may also be the
problem when you force an override to the layout by changing text
container properties.
To play with that idea a little bit, you might try making a copy of
your working files and converting the text insets to text, so no
updating is required. Then work with that copy a bit to see what
happens. Just a thought.
Cheers,
Art
