> Is this cross-platform or Linux-only?

dbaron: "maybe." It takes trunk Fx from 2005-08-27 to 2005-09-05 to have the bug that caused this crash (something that I wouldn't describe as "a trunk only change" since it just didn't get checked in anywhere but the trunk); I changed search engines in the dialog twenty times in a Windows 2005-08-30 build without a crash.
Marking as INVALID. The original code that was causing this is gone. The bug probably still exists, but until someone can find it (or the crash starts to irritate people) I don't think it matters much.
