OK, Good deal. I spent some more time trying a few things in attempt to narrow down the problem. I didn't find exactly what triggers the problem, but perhaps the following data points will help.

I took my original 50 image KMZ, and manually recreated it with a smaller number of images (unzipping the container, then re-creating with a subset of the images and hand modified doc.kml with the included images). Here's what I found:

* 50 - able to reproduce the issue.
* 25 - issue does not occur.
* 30 - able to reproduce the issue.
* 29 - able to reproduce the issue.
* 28 - issue does not occur.

To see if it was the one image removed in the 28 image test case, I then rebuilt the KMZ without that one image (it contained the other 49). I was able to reproduce the issue, so it's not a particular image file.

Next up, I wanted to see if there was anything magic about 28 or 29 image KMZ files. I downloaded fresh KMZ from CalTOPO, trying files with 28, 28 (again), 29, and 30 images. With all of these KMZ files, the issue did not occur.

So, I think we can reasonably summarize:

* The issue is not limited to specific KMZ files, or images within.
* The issue is not limited to KMZ files with a certain number of images.

It might be related to overall KMZ file size, or something like that, but I did not test other cases.

Thank you!

We may want to see those other KMZ files if you still have them, please do not delete if you do.

I'll update here when I have more information.
