Those PPT file crashes? There were 2 I know of:
- #128579 - a cross-platform regression that got fixed on 3 Jan 2024 in
commit 294ee1400602b0a60dabfaa12034b85c1df06f8f.
- Another "regression" (Bugzilla seems to be down?) which is Windows-only,
and has a known but ugly workaround - we leak the library handle like we
did before (and still do on 4.1.x), instead of releasing it properly.

I'll try to investigate that Windows PPT crash further soon.

I am also in need of better Windows debugging tools.
