Seemingly random crashes

Playing Twisty Castle on 0.2.1, the game has crashed twice during gameplay. I don't see anything that could be causing it, it just tells me vox.exe stopped working. Never happened on previous versions and there doesn't seem to be a crash log anywhere.
If it's any help, here's the problem signature:

The most common cause of unexplained crashes was using DirectX to blit to screen (still don't know why exactly though). The most recent version should default to dib blits instead but just in case, please make sure that in config.txt (YourHomeFolder\AppData\Roaming\Voxatron\config.txt) windib is set to 1.

Thoses crashes appear to only occur during fullscreen mode. You could also try running in a window to see if that has any relevance.

There's also log.txt in YourHomeFolder\AppData\Roaming\Voxatron that might be useful. If using windib 1 doesn't help, please send me a copy after a crash (joseph at lexaloffle dot com).

Weird that you weren't having this problem before 0.2.1 though. Have you updated/changed any drivers or hardware since then?
