Hi Dima,  CC Rivet dev list,

It's an unknown issue as far as I'm aware. By the looks of things it's
getting stuck somewhere in the subprocess execution that runs latex,
pdf2png, etc. -- that is pure Python and I don't think any of the
dependencies should be involved. I never saw this myself, but strange
that it works with 68 but not 67b... is the Python version/build different?

Andy
