Try booting with F8, going to command prompt only, and running rhide and
duplicating the crash.
* If it was Win 95 pre-empting something it now will not happen
* If it was a crash with a stack trace and stuff, such as the dreaded
SIGSEGV, you'll actually get to see the stack trace instead of the window
closing and erasing it in a millisecond.
