That doesn't sound good at all!  I've been hearing of some graphics-related
problems under Windows XP, so _perhaps_ it's related.

However, in the meantime, could you do me a favor and check in your
C:\Program Files\TuxPaint  (or whever "TuxPaint.exe" is installed) and
see if there are "stderr.txt" and/or "stdout.txt" files laying around?

Those might contain useful error messages that we can use for figuring out
what's causing the crash.

Sorry for the trouble!  In the meantime, I guess a downgrade will fix it,
and/or simply disabling the Stamps tool altogether. (There's an option
for it under "Simplification" in Tux Paint Config.)

Good luck!
