Harry, I followed your advice about unpacking the files from the Quicktime Installer, moved the version 7.6.6 QTKit Framework to a safe place and replaced it with the version 7.6.4 QTKit Framework. Then I ran "Repair Permissions" ... that claimed to be doing things to QTKit but while the permissions may have been fixed the Framework was still owned by my login-id rather than by System. So I changed access to RW for "Everyone" ... as the files I removed were owned by System and set to RW for System.
The result was that when I ran a stitch (at a very small test resolution) I had no crashes! So this method of avoiding the problem works! Either the permissions that I set were what was needed or else it doesn't matter. I may try setting it back to Read Only for "Everyone" and try again ... but it will be tomorrow! Thank you very much for your help.
