CRASH: 4.1.2 Bombs when altering Lines source params

1. Create empty set
2. Add the Lines source
3. Mess around with parameters
Sooner or later the dreaded "Avenue has stopped working" comes up. I have not had any crashes otherwise after a few hours of playing with the more usual features.
Happened the last 3 times I've added Lines to a set.
Using Win7 x64, 8GB, NVidia 650M 2GB, 1.5TB 7200 HD

Hmm yes I just recreated this on one of our PCs aswel. Annoying, it does not happen on the mac.
It's too late to fix this in version 4.1.3 which we will release later today but it will be fixed in version 4.1.4 which will probably be released in january.

We are currently working on this issue but can no longer reproduce it on any of our PCs. The only change we made was to uninstall unstable drivers from the offending PC.
Can you confirm whether or not you are using stable drivers and if this issue is still happening for you?

Which stable drivers are you referring to? Video drivers? I'm pretty sure I'm up to date.
Had this crash again a few days ago on 4.13.

Video drivers is what i ment indeed, having up-to-date drivers from the hardware vendor is good.
Could you tell us how often you encounter the crash? Is it like within a few minutes after changing the parameter values or are we talking about once in a few days?
Could you also tell us what you mean by 'mess around with parameters'? (the third step in your steps-to-reproduce list) Would changing their type to timeline and then keep it running also crash the application or do you continuously have to change the parameter values by hand?

Just reproduced it twice, both times within a few seconds of adding it to an existing set, and dragging its sliders around. Once was when changing "number of lines" and the other when altering "fuzziness" I think.
I just had a crash on a set with just Llines in, but it was when trying to load a new set.
Haven't been able to reproduce crash when animating Lines params using Timeline.
Mess around = change parameter values at random, dragging sliders around without any set pattern.
