Hi Curtis,

It is difficult to say because it does not seem to be a deterministic crash.
It happens usually when I'm working on merging stacks of images (around 30
to 100 512x512 images, four 16-bits and one RGB stacks at once for RGB
merge). I have the impression that the crash always occur either when
importing or exporting one of those stacks from/to an image sequence. The
ImageJ progress bar freezes, I get the rainbow spinning beachball for a few
seconds and then ImageJ quits. Next time I get that, can you tell me where I
can find a log that could be useful to determine the exact problem such as
the one at the start of this discussion ?

Thanks

Christophe
