so just for kicks, I tried to debug this again on a vista pc. 
Downloaded sources from cvs and there was no crash.  So I downloaded 
2.0.1 sources and it does crash.   Ok, so then I went back to the win2k 
computer where I was able to reproduce the crash.  I updated my source 
tree there and now it doesn't crash.  I stuck an installer at 
http://gerbv.sf.net/tmp/ that you can try out if you want.

I'd feel better if I knew what changed to make this bug not show up so 
we knew it was actually fixed for real.  Still, there have been a number 
of changes recently so maybe there was a lurking bug which was fixed.
