I have a strange issue with maya crashing out when doing a batch bake using 'Bake optimization: Single object'.

The strange thing is that it works fine on my Macbook laptop at home, but on my newer work iMac its bombing out maya when it gets to 100%

All works fine when using 'Multiple objects' mode, but it takes much longer

Any help would be much appreciated! (If you need any more info please ask, Im not hugely technical)

many thanks!
