This is on Windows 8.1 32-bit with Audacity 2.0.5
This happens when 'About' is selected: Help -> About. This happens only when Hungarian languag is selected in the preferences, if English is selected the about dialog box is displayed without any problems.

Thanks for the report. The crash also happens on Windows 7 in the current 2.0.6-alpha code but not on Mac OS X or Linux.

The root cause appears to be in some code change made between 2.0.3 and 2.0.4. I opened a bug report http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=715 .

Thanks, we know. However the crash does not occur in debug builds of 2.0.6-alpha on Windows, which makes it hard for a developer to track it down.
