These appear to be crashes with a positively ancient version of Google IME (10+ years old). The stack is terrible and I don't know if we can do anything about it, but I'm filing this to track it.

It seems that it's discontinued and Google Input Tools replaced the products. However, I don't find the download page of its Windows version. So it seems that the users may need to keep using the old version.

On the other hand, Text Services Framework (TSF) on Windows which is API for both IME and apps has been changed a lot. Therefore, even as far as I know, some Japanese IMEs stopped working too. So, it might be impossible to support such old IMEs anymore.
