[GNC] Intermittent Crash when using recent File dropdown list. Filed as bug # 799215

[Adrien Monteleone]

Have you tried opening the (other) desired book directly via command line?

It may be the book you are attempting to switch to has an issue, and not 
saving the current one.

Also, since it is prompting you to save, that tells me something was 
edited without a save. Perhaps manually save, then attempt to switch. At 
least that should determine if the crash is happening on save, or upon 
opening the other book.

Regards,
Adrien
