In 3.2.5, 
This seems to be a problem with newly edited records and records already in the
system.
If there is a series statement in subfield a, and a volume number in subfield v
the correct punctuation for subfield a is to end with a space semicolon space
http://openlib.org/home/krichel/courses/lis512/aacr2/6.html

However, if subfield a is punctuated as above, it causes a fault in the search,
in both the OPAC and the staff interface.  The search times out.

To test it out on our catalogue (in the URL field above) search for 'school
songs'
You'll get a slew of items that are in the Novello's school songs series. 
Clicking on the series in the list on the left side of the page works fine. 
But if you go to an item that has both the series and the number (Folksongs
from Somerset, Set II for example) and click on the series link there (in the
normal view), it doesn't work.
Chrome eventually returns a message that the page is unresponsive.
I have deleted the spaces around the semicolon in a few records (the series
County folklore) and the series link in the normal view works fine.
