LogCat didn't seem to show anything, but here's what I've found:
1) The program isn't actually crashing, but it is taking over a minute (1 minute, 23 seconds) to display anything other than a white screen, and if you touch the screen during this time, you get a message saying that the app isn't responding, with the choices of closing the app or waiting.
2) The problem seems to be right at the beginning of the code (in the preprocessor area). What comes after the preprocessor lines doesn't matter other than to give an example of how slow the app is running.
3) This problem only shows up with the compiled version of the code. When running the same code as an Android applet through the player, it works perfectly well.
Here is the code I'm working with:

See Section 61.32 [[Format tags]], page 1229, for details.\nIn Hollywood 4.0 the syntax of this function changed slightly.

The same is true for the list's indentation, offset and spacing where the default values can be set using DefListIndent, DefListOffset and DefListSpacing and custom values can be set using ListIndent, ListOffset and ListSpacing.

The following screenshot is from the compiled app:
Again, it takes 1 minute, 23 seconds for the timer even to begin. Then, after it starts, the text takes much longer to display than it should.
For comparison, this is the screenshot from when the same code is run in applet form through the Android player:
Through the player, the app starts immediately (no delay at all).
I've also tried it with fewer preprocessor commands, and there is still a slowdown, but not as dramatic as with the full set.
