If you read one of my other posts, I have solved this problem.  I will let you 
know when the new build goes up.

I will look into this.  I have not however seen this problem.  The best thing I 
can suggest is to try and make it happen with the --debuglog option to see if 
any errors were given before the crash.  Most likely there will be as I am 
pretty sure TeXmacs is exiting gracefully through it's fatal_error() method.  
This produces error messages.  If it was exiting through an address fault or 
some other fatal operations, windows would most likely generate an error 
message, and on XP you would get the bug report screen.

No problem at all.  Thankyou very much for you help.
