If the crash on exit is a problem for you, install the experimental version
and see how it works for you.  If you do so, you will need to remember to
toggle the experimental packages you updated to "Keep" on all subsequent
invocations of setup.exe until these packages, or later ones containing
the same fix, get promoted to current.  If the crash isn't a problem for you,
just stick with the current version until a new version become current.
