Thanks very much. I'm afraid I can't reproduce your issue, but looking at the backtrace and the somewhat intermittent nature of the fault, I think perhaps this crash is caused by a race condition which exists in the conversion of the window icon from an X property to a Windows icon. I've uploaded a snapshot with some fixes for that at [1], perhaps you could try that out and see if it helps?
