I was playing TCB, when for seemingly no reason at all, Windows 98 SE said DROD had done something illegal and would be closed. I lost progress both times, to where I was when I opened DROD (a terrible occurance after just beating the secret rooms in River Dugan). The first crash was in The City, somewhere around the stairs to Homeward Ascent (I forget exactly which room); the second, just after exiting River Dugan: 4S6E. Here're the "details":

Ugh. Sorry, I don't know how to make use of memory dumps to figure out where the program crashed (also since I've been making many changes to it in the meanwhile). We'll have to treat this symptomatically. If you can observe a pattern in crashing, like it always happens when you press Undo when someone is speaking, for instance, then that's something we might be able to narrow down. Sorry for the trouble.

Edit: Oh, but I can see it looks like DROD tried to dereference a NULL pointer, and the other one probably involves memory given to the sound library to manage. That's all I can figure out, though.
