I previously reported that I had had a large number of problems
running the latest 0.9.3 VACPP drop on my system, even though I had
run the earlier drops without significant problems. It turns out that
if I have XCenter running on my system - which I have for the past
several months - then whenever I open Mozilla and open a second
window, such as the Preferences window or even another URL, when I
close the second window it causes Mozilla to crash with a c0000005
error in GKCONTNT.DLL:

If I close XCenter, then the problem goes away, but once I reopen it,
Mozilla starts crashing again. Just to make matters interesting,
yesterday afternoon I started up Mozilla with XCenter running, and it
also ran without problems. But today, whenever XCenter is open,
Mozilla crashes. Others have reported this type of behavior as well,
but I don't know if any of them are also using XCenter. I don't know
if there are any work arounds for this problem short of reverting to
Mozilla 0.9.2 or abandoning XCenter, but I hope it is something that
can be fixed in the next drop.
