Is the "crash" something like a window popping up saying that
setup.exe has encountered errors and must be terminated?  If so: I
recently posted a screed when I got hit by that.

Experts, would it help, or at least not hurt, to hide
xorg-server.lst.gz?  I would think that hiding bash.lst.gz would help
only if it crashed updating bash, not xorg-server.
