Re: [MiKTeX] dvipdfm crashes

[Kelli H. <kh...@mi...>]

I will try to add more specifics for everyone to help clarify.  The one
which is most bothersome for me is the dvipdfm crash.  Before I first posted
this, the crash seemed to happen randomly at various points in the document. 
If it had been consistently happening on the same file, I would be more
suspect of the eps file.  Also, this is a document which dvipdfm worked for
perfectly prior to the upgrade from 2.4 to 2.6.  Today it seems to be very
consistent. 

I wasn't quite sure how to attain a log file so ran dvipdfm with the -vv
flag and copied the output below.  Essentially, it chugs through the entire
document and after the last page [45] crashes.  

The Windows error information says the following:
Code: 0xc0000005 Flags: 0x00000000
Record: 0x0000000000000000 Address: 0x000000007c91888f
You will have to pardon the above if it is missing a 0, I could not copy
from the window.

When I pull it into a debugger, it gives me a little more information saying
that 0xc0000005 is an Access Violation.

This really puts me at the end of my skill set.  I have been dealing with
the issue by changing my workflow from latex -> dvipdfm to latex -> dvips ->
ps2pdf.

This looks like a dvipdfm issue and I'll figure out where to post it in case
there is a but to fix.  My initial posting here was to determine if others
had a similar experience with the upgrade to 2.6.

Thanks,
Kelli
