Printing Causes Rev & Standalone to Crash

[Peter Reid]

I'm printing a large number of cards (100-150 cards, each landscape 
A4) using something like:

    open printing with dialog
     repeat with x = 1 to cardsToPrint
       print card x
     end repeat
    close printing

However, it gets to the last card and then crashes both Rev and also 
any standalone I've built doing the same thing.  I've tried both Rev 
2.5.1 and Rev 6 (under Mac OS X 10.3.9) and get the same result. 
I've tried a Print Preview and a Print to PDF and both crash out of 
Rev/standalone!  If I do Print Preview, I get nothing after the 
crash.  If I do Print to PDF, I get an incomplete damaged PDF file.

The 100-150 cards are actually groups of 4-5 cards with their content 
being changed and then printed. Basically they are customer records, 
each of 4-5 pages and I'm trying to print a batch of customers in one 
go, either directly to the printer or to a PDF file such that the 
user only has to set the paper size/orientation once and the output 
options (one/two sided, to print/PDF) once rather than for each 
customer in a batch (a batch can be 15-25 customers at a time).

This looks like a memory problem to me, but I don't know whether 
there's anything I can tweak to make it go away.

Alternatively, is there anyway to set up multiple print runs (i.e. 
multiple "open printing" - "close printing" cycles such that I can 
get the user to answer the final print dialog just the once and carry 
over the settings into each subsequent cycle?

Any suggestions please?
