Till, Klaus, thank you both for checking this. My stack does use the
correct "launch document" command but it turns out my client was using
the wrong file path. I'll report this to Bugzilla, because even though
it is user error, Rev still should not crash.
In the mean time, anyone who is using the new "launch document" command
should add something like this to their script to be safe:
if there is a file tFilePath -- check for existence!
then launch document tFilePath
