Programs almost never ever fail during crypto, as crypto code is highly vetted for relyability.
A program that works in one
OS will generally work identically with its "child or grandchild" OS. Some crypto code can be too efficient (but not here)! NB : SSL/TLS commonly has randomly imposed wait(rnd_x_ms) to work around "CPU time" fingerprinting attacks.
Paperback works without flaw in
Win 7 (and Win 8) without crashing and burning.
Paperback has never ever
busted during crypto. The crypto program failure even persists in VM modes, Win 7 & 8 shell for compatibility. The same feature worked under Win 10 with the patches it had as of OCT 2015 so somting is up C++ code is of no help in doing the diagnostic research!

State Sponsored Attack @ AES Coding Stage?
Refreshing the Paperback binaries from the website and archived copies does not fix the problem.
NOT USING CRYPTO is
about the only fix, the program does not crash in plaintext mode. It is really impossible to find any other explaination besides a 'state sponsored attack' to explain the crash and burn in AES encoding mode.
Paperback's crypto is not worth
attacking: it is only a single step, single key system -- more for data integrity than deep security.
Paperback's crypto encoding
schemes are universally overblown : without 2 stages, 2 algorythems & 2 keys there is no cryptography security. Even in the clear the encoding density of Paperback is somewhat too low to be of deep stratigic or operational value.

Paperback is in need of being opensouced (@ GitHub, SF etc) -- and in general functionally updated an upgraded.
Paperback should be convereted to Java for PCs and Dalvik for mobiles.
The author of the research does
not have the time, energy of facilities to create a branch of the Paperback code -- and give it the new life and funcitionality it deserves.
It will have to be up to someone
else (or several dozen people) Paperback needs to save to to create the 2 or 3 separate GIF (and Animated GIF), with Paperback code branches up to 40 pages bandwith. necessary to keep this encoding Paperback needs to support scheme working well into the future. 127 Gray Levels for mobile file backup.
Moral : C++ code is dangerous...
So, Minix3 etc ... should be rewritten in ADA95.
Java is avalable for this transision as well. Most of the C++ code in the wild has all sorts of problems, and the expence of maintaining it in Open Souce systems is still higher that what society can afford. Closed Source C++ code has bankrupted nearly every company that ever used it, and there are no signs of improvement. Microsoft probably had to auction off access to parts of Win10 to GCHQ, NSA etc ... just to have the spare cash to allow it to unifiy its massive horde of accumulated C++ code. Minix3, The NTP Server, etc ... all need to be rewritten in ADA95 (or for nonembeddedable use ADA14) for safety and maintainability reasons. For a lot of C++ code, there is the option of a transistion to Java a language with most of ADA's safety features (but a syntax closer to C++). The EU should take measures to halt the further use of C++ in the Euroshpere to reduce the safety of life issues associated with its use.
