Client crashing to desktop when switching chars or IUs

Hi folks!

With the latest build of MQ, I am having an issue with the client crashing to desktop whenever I either try to swith between IUs for tradskill macros. Or, switching between chars that use two different IUs (EI: My druid uses the default UI always for doing trades, and I swith to my rogue who uses a custom UI.) Or switching between chars period, even ones that use the same IU.

As soon as I try to run another macro ofter either switching chars or UIs the client immediately crashes to desktop. Never had this problem with earlier builds, so I thought I'd post it here and see if anyone esle is experiencing this.

I noticed also that when I switch either IU's or chars, the custom MQ window dissapears when the characters actually appear in the world, or the UI is fully loaded.

OS: Win XP
MQ Zip: Latest build (10/29 zip)
EQ Game.ini info:

[MacroQuest]
MacroQuestVersion=MQ-20031027
ClientName=eqgame
ClientVersion=Thu Oct 09 07:43:xx 2003
ClientOverride=1
MacroQuestWinClassName=__MacroQuestTray
MacroQuestWinName=MacroQuest

Any ideas? TIA.

Nothing to do with MQ, mine and many others i know have client crash since last patch especially on switching characters.

I've seen more crashes recently with and WITHOUT MQ running.

One thing I have noted about them is that they happen more often if I camp my bard WHILE she is singing (casting).

I chalk it up to great SoE programming.
