I checked other photos and some cause the crash and others do not. A larger image size did not appear to have a relationship since a larger file did not fail, but a still larger file from a phone did. I'm uploading two images - one that failed and one that did not.
I am leaving on a road trip for several weeks in about two hours, so I will be unable to access the computer where these failures occured. I'll be able to respond to a post, but will not be able to do any testing for you.
