Sidewinder crashes on close if Gecko ActiveX renderer is activated

Description

If the "Mozilla Gecko (via ActiveX)" renderer is activated, Sidewinder crashes on close. Unfortunately, none of the running threads at the time of the crash has a stack trace which enters our code at any point, so figuring out what we're doing wrong on this one is going to be tricky.

Can one big try...catch be set (or something similar), until this bug is resolved?

When using Gecko, Sidewinder crashes even before the close. The following will crash after a few seconds: 

swviewer2 http://www.google.com/reader#meta(renengine=2)

This is probably due to the redirection that Google Reader does, and it may provide a clue as to the crash on close.

This does not seem possible, as the bug description says: "...none of the running threads at the time of the crash has a stack trace which enters our code at any point..."

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at it.
