You didn't mention which build you're using, or what O/S. I've crashed on every build I've tried from 12/7 on, and finally gave up. And the bug is already marked a top crasher, which is a pretty fair indication it's not an obscure or isolated incident. Maybe you're not crashing because *you* are the oddball. ;) BTW, 0.9.8 is a long time away, relatively speaking. A top crasher bug shouldn't sit around that long, IMO.
