This was a bug that was fixed before Christmas and is caused by running
with the sound disabled.

0.9.19CVS isn't packaged for windows yet. 0.9.18 has the bug.

Tux Paint crashes with 'Kaleidoscope' and 'Shift' Magic tools
        This is a known bug in Tux Paint 0.9.18, when sound effects are
        disabled. Either re-enable sound effects or, alternatively,
        remove these two magic tools.
        
Windows: Remove the files 'shift.dll' and 'kalidescope.dll' from the
'plugins' folder in your Tux Paint installation (e.g., under 'C:
\Program Files\TuxPaint\')
        
Sorry about this - hopefully the new windows version will be packaged
soon :)
