Map2dif crashes in WinXP

Oh, the joys of upgrading to WinXP. I did search for this problem @ GG, but found nothing.
map2dif has started crashing during the exporting to runtime phase.
Has anyone met up with this before? I think I'm using the latest marble blast map2dif version. I'd hate to downgrade back to WinME so I can use QuArK. =/

BTW, if this is any help, it's what the MS error reporter wants to send to Microsoft:

Thanks for your insight too, Joseph.

After some research, I found it was a hexagonal brush with a cap on it that was causing the bug. Since I did indeed just add that, I have no way of knowing if this would have happened in WinME too. I suppose so, though WinXP is a bit of a mysterious creature to me. :-pThanks for your insight too, Joseph.

Why are you using the MB version? I'm not having any problem with the TGE version on WinXP. And, I've added in the radiosity and doors resources.

The problem boiled down to that hex with a cap. I may try it again after I get the latest TGE map2dif. :)

I was using the newest one from the "Radiosity" thread, which includes the floating point updates, but since I had run into some problems with LOD, I thought I should try an "official" version. I hunted around for a TGE one, but had no luck finding it. :-/The problem boiled down to that hex with a cap. I may try it again after I get the latest TGE map2dif. :)
