Just to mention a possibility ... FrameMaker is rather intolerant of network latency. If you are saving to any sort of networked drive (even a Dropbox folder), try saving to a local drive.

I've had more than one client drastically reduce random FrameMaker crashes by moving from network to local file storage.

Alison, that sounds like it's a "might work". I'll have to explore that.
Thanks!

And I just realized I forgot to provide what may be a very pertinent piece
of info. The crash ONLY happens when I'm saving the file as part of a "Save
all Files in Book" operation. None of the other files trigger this, and a
couple are even larger. One of my "workarounds" is to save the other files
first and then save the problem file. That will often work for a bit, but
it's a PITA not being able to use the book-based save all.
