Background information
FrameMaker creates index pointers for book files in physical memory. In versions of FrameMaker earlier than 7.2, these pointers become stale when you search across multiple documents in a book. When one document closes in a search window, FrameMaker attempts to set up a new pointer in the physical memory without clearing out previous pointers. This situation causes an internal error and possibly a system error.
FrameMaker 7.2 detects stale pointers in memory and cleans them up before creating new pointers, so this issue does not occur in FrameMaker 7.2.
