OK, I'm building that now...

Yes, under gdb I see the crash occurring during drawing the windows,
grk_drawable_create_cairo_surface() in libgdk-win32-1.0-0.dll
this is not directly called by denemo, just happens in the gtk main loop
while creating the windows - this is from my notes when I studied the
crash in some detail some days ago, but the latest crash looked the
same.
We do have (have always had I think) a message about not being able to
open a pixbuf loader module file gdk_pixbuf_2.10.0\loaders.cache, "no
such file", but that may be irrelevant.

Well, let's see if it builds - there is not a good chance of tracing the
code through the library to find a problem though, our best hope is that
we can find a part of Denemo's code that triggers it (some write to a
wrong pointer) or, more likely, some version of the libraries with the
bug fixed.
It will be worth taking a critical look at any patches you needed - I
think I noticed one about the Windows version (2000, NT, XP etc).
