I might be persuaded to take a look at fixing one or the other. I wrote a plugin a while back which takes the various forward / backwards orientated polygons spat out by pstoedit, then combines them to make PCB compatible polygons with holes. The tricky part was making it work with nested holes inside polygons inside a hole inside a polygon .... ;) Since a lot of core code has been updated since I wrote the script, I might have to fix it to work with current PCB, but I've attached it here in case it helps you get started. I've not seen PCB crash due to bad pstoedit polygons before though - if you have an example which is reproducible, please send it to me.
