Estimate Resource error with Quartus 17.1

I am stuck with a particular issue, with Quartus 17.1. Currently I am optimizing my cl file for resource utilization. My resource utilization estimate is some where around 90-100%. If I compile the cl with 17.1 its giving the below error, on the other hand if I compile with 18.0 it is generating the resource estimate. Can you please help me with the below error.

PFA log file.

  • The error seems could not give any clue on what had failed. Are you going to compile it in Q18.0 after as it may be fixed? ​

    This is a compiler crash; the reason is likely the aggressive optimization that is trying to remove some local memory buffer that you have used but is not required. I have encountered this crash before. It will be solved if you manually remove the local memory buffer; the way you are using the buffer is likely ineffective and hence, removing it will not degrade performance.
