Windows XP SP2 + Tor = instant crashes

[Jevon Wright]

That worked great, Tor starts up with no problems now. The cached-status 
and cached-routers file is 1.9 MB compressed, if you'd like me to post 
it I can stick it online somewhere. The "dragonlord" entry in the 
cached-routers status is the last entry in the file, and I've attached 
the last two entries to this e-mail.

Thanks again!
