The latest build I can use is 040402 and the Freehand Tool problem is still there. The crash is 100% repeatable, sometimes after a couple of strokes, sometimes after a dozen or so. I am using Win2000.
The screenshot is for a different bug, that was introduced on Apr 1 or 2 and fixed a day after that. With regard to John's problems I'm suspecting a different one which was introduced by Fred on March 23 and fixed by him after a few days, but maybe not completely (I could reproduce it on my win 98 before the fix but not now, yet John still has the same crashes on all builds since 23). So please test the latest build and report your results.
Fred: I'm referring to the IntLigne::Copy crash which you fixed (at least for me). I'm not sure it's still the same crash, of course. John says node tool and freehand tool and bezier tool crash for him when Inkscape is run by itself, but never crash under gdb, so he can't get a backtrace. This suggests a timing issue somewhere. Also, his machine is faster (2100 mhz) than my windows machine, which may be why i don't get the crash and he does. I understand this information is vague, but maybe you can have an idea of what is going on?
