That's the hard part: there isn't one. It's a large collection, and sometimes it works great for several thousand iterations, then other times I'll see garbage in a field without a crash, and sometimes garbage with a crash. It crashes on different files, and after a different number of iterations each time. :\
I think the thing about images may get us closer to understanding this anomaly. In my own tests any gabage that appears is always after the first image referenced in my htmlText. I've been running a test in the background in which I'm not including in the image references, many tens of thousands of iterations without a crash. Hmmm....
It may make a difference with the crash (and certainly with subsequent performance) to redesign the main routine to cache the files and reference the local cached copy for display.
I needed to add that anyway, so I'll do that now and report back on how it works out.
On the upside I know this can be done well because WebMerge has been a similar method for years, and with many copies out in weekly use (with some customers daily) it's never crashed yet.
Hopefully I'll have good news and a recipe or workaround to report by morning...
