Reporter:
Please uninstall Mozilla, delete the whole Mozilla application folder except the
plugins subfolder and reinstall mozilla.

Have you installed addons in your old build ?

1.4RC1 works for me and many other people on win2k -> doesn't block development
-> no blocker

I didn't delete but rather renamed my Plugin's and Component's folders at which
point it started working just fine again; Sans those addons...

This was a behaviour that started after downloading the June 8, trunk 8 at which
point, later and earlier versions would still crash instantly...  

I did notice, however, that during the 6/8/8 installation, as with later, there
are references to XP, can one assume that this may have contributed to the cause?
