Just an FYI, since Shevek posted the link to his suggested version of AP
last week, I decided that my strategy would be to re-enable full
description tagging with the version provided by the installer, then
switch to Shevek's version in the event of a crash to see if it cured it.

Sod's Law has dictated, of course, that the four programmes I've
downloaded so far have caused no problem with the original version. I'll
keep using this method, though, just in case I stumble upon a programme
that holds the key to resolving this, or until a fix is verified elsewhere
and incorporated into the installer.
