In other words, I took your clue ("...Geo correctly interprets London as a County...",) entered it as described, and it worked.
To see if it would always work, I added a new fake listing as "Bristol, , England, United Kingdom". It gave me back "Bristol, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom". So, perhaps I have, with your help, inadvertently discovered a way around at least some of the "anomaly about how Geo handles UK placenames".
In any event, this one's fixed, and I thank you.

I've never had the program crash, but there is an "anomaly" about how Geo handles UK placenames. If you enter "London,,,England" it won't find London and comes up with England and all the placenames in England. If you enter "London,,England" Geo correctly interpets London as a County and doesn't find it either. This applies to any town in England that I have tried - it's nothing to do with London.
Not sure why it's crashing though. (Tried again just now and reproduced the above).
