It's probably crashing while dissecting some frame, although I'd expect
Windows to put up a dialog box in that case.

As per Graham Bloice's mail, if you can, please send us the capture
file, so we can see whether we can make it crash as well (and use the
core dump file on UNIX or use the debugger on Windows).
