Subject:Resampling in SF10 locks up the system

Resampling a WAV file from 48,000 to 44,100 in Sound Forge 10a sucks up all the CPU's and ultimately locks up the system. This occurs about 25% into the anti-alias filtering phase. At that point, the computer becomes unresponsive, and must be physically unplugged in order to restart the system.

However, the culprit may not be the resampler, per se, but the batch converter through which I'm running the resampler. I used the batch converter a lot on Sound Forge 9, but this is the first time I've tried it on Sound Forge 10 (which I just purchased yesterday). As the processes run through batch converter, the system freezes up when it gets to resampling the file (and it's a big file, more than 600 MB). If I run the resampler on its own, not through the batch converter, it does not freeze the system.

Sony suggests this may be caused by background programs running. However, the issue still occurs, even after booting clean. What's more, this does not occur with Sound Forge 9. I can run the same batch through Sound Forge 9 without any problem. How has the batch converter changed in Sound Forge 10?

I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit on a year-old Intel quad-core box. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
