Blink errors with 1.8.8-3 on Windows 10

[RickS]

Reproduced on two different machines (AMD threadripper workstation and Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop) with a couple of different data sets: open two image files with Blink and hit the "Apply an automatic histogram transformation to all images" button a few times. PI sometimes displays an access violation message on the process console (see below) and sometimes just quietly crashes.

I'm using the latest PI 1.8.8-3 on Windows 10.

I'm happy to provide copies of test data or any other info if you have problems reproducing the error.

Thanks,
Rick.

Hi Rick,

Sometimes, I get similar error messages while blinking.

PI 1.8.8.3, W10 Pro.  Intel i7, 64Gb RAM. NVidia graphics card's drivers recently actualized.
