As @Chicopower said, they might all have tried something else in between and 
then had the config file and wouldn't hit the issue.
But even if they did not, I wouldn't be totally surprised if another set of 
libraries did not lead to a crash.  I'm not sure how Windows behaves in this 
regard, but usually reading arbitrary memory like this leads to unpredictable 
results, not necessarily a crash. Could be that that other set of libraries 
result in a memory mapping with a zero byte (string terminator) close to the 
address that gets read before hitting a memory violation.  Or maybe not, but 
well, I wouldn't bet anything on that horse.  My point is: don't sweat it 
looking for another problem yet, it's more than likely that #2645 is the 
answer.  But sure, getting them to try the version with the meaningful fix is a 
good idea for sure, then we'll have a better idea :)
