Well, that's a real problem. FWIW I can't reproduce a crash here in 4.5.3 (Mac) or 4.5.1 (Win). I've just tried a slightly more sophisticated version of my test routine (that is more like the situation you originally outlined) and it all works fine. I'm using a list of words in a field as a starting point rather than a database, so is there any chance you have some dodgy or unexpected characters/linebreaks/encoding that might be throwing a spanner in the works?
