CUETools 2.1.6 | Is this a Common Error? (read or write protected memory)

Hi everyone

While transcoding and splitting a single track APE-file into 20 FLAC-tracks with CUETools, it stopped short of the desired 20 tracks, at track 17, flagging the following message:

albumname.cue: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt....

I have read some of the other online discussions about his error, for e.g. "Attempted to read or write protected memory - Microsoft Community", but the proposals offered in these discussions are quite divergent. Is there perhaps anyone here who saw the same error while using CUETools who can offer a more direct solution?

I have Windows 7 x64 installed, with 16GB RAM.

That means that some piece of software you were using tried to perform a read or write to memory that it did not have access to, usually because pointer or other data structure is corrupted.  This could be a hardware problem with your PC, a bug in your program, or bad inputs to software.

Is the problem reproducible?

Yes, quite. So far with CUETools only, and only when transcoding one specific file. I did try a new copy of the same APE file, but the result was the same, which leads me to think it might be CT?
