   More likely, the issue(s) is/are with the JS engine we use and they're more   
   prevalent on 32-bit platforms (e.g. Win32) or just Windows in general. Hard to   
   say as the engine is very old now and doesn't support 64-bit Windows builds,   
   so a bit hard to compare and confirm. In any case, we'll upgrade the JS engine   
   someday and hopefully those unexplained crashes (which we *do* see on 64-bit   
   *nix builds under heavy JS activity) will go away.
