BUG - Repeatable Crash: Print/Export Bibliography

Following the directions in the wiki here, I created a collection of everything in my library and attempted to print/export it (following the steps in the same wiki).

Logos crashes each time.

Here are the logs:

0876.Logos.log

8814.LogosCrash.txt

8267.LogosError.log

(Other logs ended before this crash, including the LogosIndexer log, which did not include any errors - just a few warnings.)

The error detail says "Name cannot begin with the '>' character, hexadecimal value 0x3E. Line 1, position 16." As far as I can see, that character is not a part of any name, and certainly not on the first line of the Bibliography report. I even resorted the Bibliography before attempting to print/export with the same result.

That character does occur in the rule upon which the original collection is based that generated the report. Could that be causing the problem?

I couldn't reproduce with rating:>=0, whether or not I checked the Bibliography box. You'll need to supply more details e.g screenshot of the Print/Export box if it displayed before the crash.

Not much in the Print/Export dialog, except the spinning pizza before the crash. This happens whether I try to print from the Bibliography I generated from the collection, or directly from the collection.

But if you're interested:

As for other details, I'm simply following the procedure described in the wiki (see above for the URL).

BTW, I am able to print/export from smaller collections & bibliographies.

As an experiment I tried a collection created by rating:>=1. It had 200 (or so) fewer resources, but still crashed the Print/Export dialog. A collection with rating:>=2 (only 158 resources) has no trouble compiling. (As an aside, I don't usually rate my resources. But at one time, to get rid of community ratings, I rated everything that wasn't yet rated at 1.) So whatever is causing the error, it doesn't seem to be the presence of the ">" character in the collections rule.

It seems the options are that: I'm running out of memory, or there's a corrupt resource title somewhere, or...?

I wonder if it crashes exceeding the 100 page limit? My resources require 73 pages.

One would think the error message would state that, rather than an illegal character in a name. But what do I know.
