Yes, same problem with 1.6.40. 1.6.39 does not have this problem

2 Gb RAM and 2 GB swap. John-exe uses aprox 700 Mb RAM and equal size VM in 
the 7 seconds it lasts before the error occurs:
"8 [main] john 1128 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
402 [main] john 1128 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to john.exe.stack
dump"
