Comment (by christopher):

 Started experiencing this bug with an old(ish) install; updated to latest
 public version (3.6.3) and still crashes.

 Workarounds discussed in https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 talk/2013-June/028564.html work.

 I updated my NVidia drivers a couple of weeks ago which is possibly the
 cause. Currently running 340.52, Direct3D v11 on a GeForce GTX 770.
 Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
