Maxwell Manager Crashing

Hi,

Hope someone can help.

When I'm doing a co-operative rendering, right at the end of the process when the manager is merging the files it crashes on me and I get a windows error message saying 'mxnetwork.exe has stopped working'.

I have also found that I continually get an error message in the render-nodes, that say’s, 'Error in mxi sending socket. The remote host closed the connection'.

This has been a problem since V2 came out, to get around it I merge the files manually which is a bit of a pain.

We’re running Maxwell on a standard PC network on Vista 64bit workstations, nothing special.

Also the file sizes of our images are generally quite large (we tend to render-out at around 3000 pixels wide) and they do use up a lot of memory; although each of our nodes has 16G of RAM so can handle it?

Any ideas?
