OpenSCAD keeps crashing when I raise my precision past $fn=29?

Out of the blue, OpenSCAD decided to stop working for me on designs that previously rendered just fine. After playing around I found out that any time I use a precision greater than $fn=29 the program crashes with the message "openscad.exe has stopped working". I can use any precision 29 and below, but the second I adjust it to even 30 the program crashes. This is a major problem as before I was using a precision of 100, and without it the design's moving parts do not work on print.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program several times and haven't been able to fix the problem. I have watched the CPU during the calculations and it never reaches more than 35%.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem? I also have not changed computers or even the code. Thanks!

I am using Windows 32 bit, Version 2013.06. The default version from the website.
