1 render any Maxwell scene at 8192x6144
2 try to save it an exr/hdr/tiff32 from the rendered mxi file

I confirm the steps above will crash Maxwell.

i can confirm this on my system too.

FWIW, I work at that sort of resolution all the time and I've frequently had the same problem. I'm on a Mac using Maxwell 64 bit with 18Gb of RAM. It tends to be OK if I remember to set exr output before I commence rendering but if I've accidentally left it as png and tried to export exr after the render has completed, that's when I get the crash.

Tried your workaround, and that did not work for me.
As soon as Maxwell it's done with the first "end writing MXI file" it crashes, I assume while trying to save the exr.
Thanks for the tip anyway! Worth the try...
