That seems to have been the problem - I tried scanning through my music in small chunks  - had a couple of crashes but after a while it seemed to settle down. I eventually found one DVD rip and a couple of MPGs that seemed to causing problems. Converted these and all is now  fine. 
Strange though, as these had scanned without any problems  previously...
