Hi,

I can't reproduce the crash with the latest version of the patch.

On windows 2k, the crash was reproduced for % (5) finally, this document gives a segfault % (ok without the patches): \documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{ltxdoc} \def\rmdefault{bch} \begin{document} \begin{multicols}{2} A (\textit{Bcdrea} \end{multicols} \end{document} Best, Akira
