Because OE's folder structure is not documented, some messages could be imported in a strange way that could cause some internal conflicts. But it is better to have detailed description of those crashes. I would also recommend to check RAM for errors when time allows because it looks like becoming a very common problem nowadays...

That happened once for me, but it was several months ago and I could not see the connection with The Bat! Now, I have a clue an will try to make more research on this subject. AGA> 3.
