  Then dont do that.

  Its like the old joke: Man goes to doctor and waves his arm in a funny 
way and says "It hurts when I do that", and the doctor says "then dont 
do that".

  More seriously, I dont think bugs in version 1.2.0 are a priority - 
and even my ancient 1.6.0 doesn't crash like that. If it really bothers 
you, upgrade, since there are probably zillions of other more serious 
problems in 1.2.0 that will bite you.
