Description

If the ForkParser is run in a for-loop over and over against a single large Microsoft Word DOCX file, it fails intermittently. Sometimes it will fail on the very first iteration. Sometimes it will run through several iterations before failing. Results are inconsistent.

A small test application is enclosed. For the test, I use a Word docx with the full text of "War and Peace". 2.8MB, 1141 pages of text.
