So, background info: there's a long-standing texture memory leak that occasionally crashes the game on my system - usually when changing zones after an extended play session, but sometimes (especially in mass events) just randomly in the middle of things because one too many new players wandered by.
Prior to the recent mechanon content patches*, the crash reporter window would come up, I could type in what I was doing, click on send report, and be on my way.
Now, the crash reporter window comes up... and then vanishes about two seconds later, before I have time to type anything.
* Footnote: I did also install some system security updates at about the same time, so I can't be certain which change caused this problem.
