Hmmm, interesting. One thing stopping me using 10.52 is that one of 
the known issues is precisely the problem I have of the program 
crashing on closing a tab. This happens to me two or three times a 
day. I can still close the program apparently normally, but the 
process isn't closed and I have to do that manually through the Task Manager.

Cheers,
