Data merge crash in ID CS6 server (but works in ID CS6 desktop)

Question

I have a strange problem with datamerge solution of InDesign cs6 server.
There is a 20-page indd document and a 50-record csv file to be used along with it.
Creating merged document (using data merge) causes ID CS6 server to crash right after the moment the following line executes:
objDoc.mergeRecords();
However, strangely, for the same template file there is no crash in InDesign desktop counterpart.
I certainly seems that there is some inherent problem with data merge in the InDesign server. All data merge settings are same for both applications.
Even there is no crash if I directly export to PDF as follows:
objDoc.dataMergeProperties.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, outputfile);
So, in summary for the same template file:
objDoc.mergeRecords(); // crash occurs in InDesign server but not in desktop counterpart
objDoc.dataMergeProperties.exportFile(...); // no crash at all
It would be a great help if someone can throw some light on this.

This is two separate issues. The highlighting is a behavior change and not for the better inthe opinion of many, but nothing you can do about it at the moment.
Links, on the other hand, have ALWAYS been absolute, as long as ID can find them in the path stored in the file. Even if you copy a links folder from the server to the local machine, ID is going to ignore it and use the links on the server as long as they are there and you have a connection.
