David, give me a break. The tool should have been instrumented in the
1st place to catch these crashes (SetUnhandledExceptionFilter and
MiniDumpWriteDump ring a bell?).

If you've seen the workaround post you've noticed that I did try to
change something.
Actually first I rolled back to what I had in SVN. It worked. I then
tried to figure out how to start adding the new stuff (I've written
more than those lines today, and haven't committed) incrementally. And
then I decided to first check what would happen if I simply remove the
new activity I've added today from the manifest file, -- the rest you
can see in the post.

However, make the difference -- this is not a bug report in the lines
of "aapt.exe crashed". I gave enough (for me at least) information how
to get from the crash address to the actual culprit code in aapt.

Cheers
