Ok, I was partially correct, if I choose another region (eg Hungarian)
then Bidi (non debug) version will still crash, but english region won't.
I would really like some suggestions on how to track down the cause
(since it doesn't seem to occur using a debugger or with debug information).
Does it do this for anyone else or is it just me? I checked (to rule out
a XP (RC2) problem and my Win 2000 machine also crashes on startup.
Additionally, updating to fribidi 0.10.0 didn't seem to help (it may or
may not be the same cause of crashing).
Thank you,
