I had a similar incident this past week running Prime95 version 20.4.1
under Windoze95 testing in the 4.7M range. Since it *is* a Windoze
machine, I first tried just rebooting, only to get the same failure
immediately upon Prime95 starting.
I then reinstalled Prime95 from the download zip file and have been running
fine since. No corruption of the data files were observed, and no
reptition of the crash has yet occurred.
I wasn't going to offer it as a bug report until it happened again, but it
looks like I'm not alone.
If there is any data I could collect on the occasion of another crash that
could help analysis of the bug, please let me know and I'll try to secure
and report same.
