That's kind of you to say. And I am working on some things for the community, so perhaps best to keep my focus on those, at least for now.

If you discover a recipe, or even anything close to a pattern, maybe the first thing I'd do is add some logging. Logs are great for crashers, as the last line that successfully executed will usually provide some good clues.

Here's a simple logger I made a while back, not fancy but it gets the job done:

If you happen to run it when you have a crash, maybe email me the last hundred lines or so (but not the whole thing, please; as you'll see, it makes a _very_ verbose log).
