Have reproduced the crash with {Build ID: 2004120106} but Talkback would not
come up while mozilla is crashing. What a mess, no stack. 

Have only very few (useless?) things from Windows-Crash-Utility:

AppName: mozilla.exe	 AppVer: 1.8.20041.20106	 ModName: xpcom_core.dll
ModVer: 1.8.20041.20106	 Offset: 0000108d

This is quite likely related to the aviary landing yesterday

see Bug 253750 	Talkback doesn't launch anymore on crash
especially Bug 253750 comment 5

I assume you are using zip builds. To get talkback working, close Mozilla,
delete compreg.dat in the components folder, it will be recreated at start, and
talkback working at future crashes. 
Of course this doesn´t help if master.ini, qfaservices.dll or the talkback files
are missing from the components folder, which happened sometimes. You can´t copy
the missing files from other builds, as this will give wrong data.
