Stephen, from my *very limited* graphics knowledge "crossing count" is a recursive path rendering algorithm and the recursion limit may be content-dependent, but were you thinking this much recursion should be considered a bug? Given that a larger stack size avoided the crash, it's not an infinite recursion and Lee's response on comment 17 implied some recursion was expected.
