#4 Random crash on windows during start up

[Bryan Schofield]

OS: Windows XP
txt2tags Version: 2.3

Problem:
txt2tags randomly fails to start, dumping the stack trace listed below. I find that it does not matter what the command line arguments are or if any are specified. If I repeatedly try run txt2tags.exe, sometimes it will start, sometimes it will crash. I occasionally get a series of dialog boxes saying that some dlls were not extracted. The same occurs when running t2t.exe.

> txt2tags.exe
