Hi Wendi Missagia. The answer is "yes, but...".
I traded several emails with Adobe with much optimism (since they
actually responded after I send the crash log)... but, ultimately
they didn't (couldn't?) help. I wrote a Perl script to process a set
of mif files, looking for duplicate XRef tags. In 60+ files I found
50+ duplicates (out of >4000 unique XRef tags). I had to locate/fix
them manually, giving each a unique ID. The crashing stopped (but I
still hear a ticking sound...). I use a ton of conditional text and
it seems that hidden duplicates don't cause the crash, which is good
because I have way too many of these to fix. I have seen the problem
and fixed it the same way in 2 books. When I asked Adobe why they
didn't detect/warn/prevent duplicates they did not respond. Same
response when I ask when they will update the UI... sigh.
Anticipating questions from others, I am reluctant to expose the
Perl script... it is a hack and I can't support it, etc. In the mif,
the search target is:
 <MType 9>
 <MTypeName `Cross-Ref'>
 <MText `everything here is part of the tag ID'>
Finding the last part in > 2 mif files is the chore.
Good luck.
