I just grabbed the latest CVS image and the 0.9.3 source bundle.
Neither one exhibits the crash on Solaris.  I haven't tried building
the source bundle on Windows yet.  

I don't know if this information is useful, but my local copy of 0.9.3
was grabbed from CVS around noon on April second.  So I was about 3
days out of sync with the source release.  I guess something bad must
have happened and been fixed.

Does anyone know how to check out a specific version from CVS?  I
always just grab the latest, but in some cases (like when I am syncing
with the latest release) it would be nice to only check out the the
released version.  Rather than the released version and what ever
changes have been made since it was released.
