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?
