Nice! What about the newer Pan versions (v0.109)? Do they crash too?

Mine still crashes hard. Interesting. I tried something else. Instead of using 
page down 
to get to the probematic thread, I used my down arrow key. If I scroll down one 
by one (fast or 
slow), no crash. It seems page down to get a chunk make the crash. See if your 
Pan still crashes 
if you use arrow keys.
