reporter: a crash means that the app unexpectedly quit and your os tossed up a dialog saying that the 
app crashed. for windows XP it will offer to send a report to microsoft. mozilla will generally toss up its 
own talkback dialog. if you don't see such dialogs, then the app did not crash. it was merely fairly 
unhappy.

this distinction matters as I am able to use this preference to trigger a range of crashes, however the 
simple xbl dialog which you describe is not a crash and was merely something i got on my way to 
bigger and better things (crashers).

if you get a crash, please include a talkback incident id (which you can get by running 
components\talkback.exe).

if you don't get a crash, please don't say "a crash occurs".

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
