Maybe I was unfair here. I've done most of the development under
wxGTK, and subsequently moved the results to windows. It's quite easy
to get wxGTK to crash.

Now I think about it, the only crashes I can remember under win32
related to a multi-threaded application, using PostEvent to
communicate between threads. Of course, when I fixed _my_ bugs,
the crashes where fixed.
