"Application Error" using 'Find' w/ EE ....

Does anyone know what is going on?  I am getting error messages using Ecco w/EE on 'Find'.  It happens on non-sync'd copies of the same file on XP and Win 7 installs but with slightly different wording.  On Win 7 it says "Application Error - Please exit & restart Ecco".  On XP it says "Unable to complete command".  The error does not happen on straight Ecco, only w/ EE. 

Specifically, "Find" is set to "Entire File" with "Item Text & column values" selected.   No error with "Current View" or with "Item Text" only.  I ran Slang and Ecco error correction... No joy.  Next I deleted all data from the file so only folders exist and still get the error.  Running EE Memory Usage:

 This is just tad scary. After messing with the PIM's of the early 90's, Ecco was love at first sight and we've done alot of work together.

Am I hitting some kind of folder limit?  
 
Thinking about it .... It is possible the messed up file is a great-grandchild of a file originally created 20 years ago. I read something about pointer issues in really old files.  Could that have something to do with it?  


 I can email the stripped file. It's a whopping 855kb. Any help is appreciated.
 

 Thanks,
