Are the object files enough or is a reduced sourcecode repro case preferred?
If a reduced sourcecode is required, is there a way to make optlink 
crash with a console message instead of the usual popup window? The 
popup window makes it difficult to reduce the crash.

 From what I recall, the object files are enough, however source that 
reproduces it may also be of use (I have no idea if that's the case).

If you want to reduce the source/size of object files that reproduce it, 
you can use DustMite: https://github.com/CyberShadow/DustMite

There's instructions for how to reduce an optlink crash here:
https://github.com/CyberShadow/DustMite/wiki/Reducing-OPTLINK%27s-Message-Box-of-Death

(General instructions for using DustMite are here - 
https://github.com/CyberShadow/DustMite/wiki ).

Of course once you're happy you should file a bug report at:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/ with the link-failure keyword.

Hope this helps!
