Changes between Version 1 and Version 2 of Ticket #18491, comment 5

v1	v2
3	3	Thanks for the sleuthing work on possible causes. We turned off the fault handler on Windows in the 1.10 production release, mainly because most tracebacks look like the one you saw. We re-enabled it in the 1.11 daily build because we wanted to try some things to see if these crashes would stop. They didn't. So we are undoubtedly turning it back off for the production version of 1.11, if not earlier. The downside of turning it off is that we will get no notification of Windows crashes unless we put in some hack to detect the crash, or the user voluntarily uses Help→Report a Bug to report the crash (which in our experience is rare).

5		The fact that having fault handler on may be causing the crash is a real conundrum, since if you have it o~~ff you get crashes, and if you have it on~~ you get no reports of crashes! That also makes it very hard to decide if we should switch to a non-native open dialog on Windows to try to avoid the crash.
