Yes, I have a similar problem. I am told however that it is due to the memory management of the OS, which I believe since OS architecture was designed around supporting Kbytes of memory and drive space and now has to support Mbytes and GBytes. Not only HTML images but the MC help stacks also do th

Sadly none of these is the source of the error. I've literally reinstalled a virgin copy of MC 2.5, deinstalled all earlier copies of MC and -still- had it crash. Oddly the help stacks are the best instance of causing the crash. The hyperlinks in the "See also" never function and cause the crash.
