Understood. However, the crash only happens on windows. I run Linux as 
my primary OS both at home and work. I only really use Windows XP on my 
laptop. If it was crashing on linux, I'd probably have it fixed by now, 
as gdb on linux is much easier use to troubleshoot crashing as a result 
of UI interaction.
