All the view functions crash when called from a procedure set as the open file hook. It might not make sense to use those functions there, but they still shouldn't crash. Mine was calling a helper function that was using views.

Is there a place to post zipped crash examples? I am running across quite a few.

Agreed that's a problem. You can send all files to [email protected]. If your email client won't allow you to attach it you can get in touch there and I'll find another way for you to send it.
