I've attached a small project that generates the crash.

I noticed that someimage.Fill(somecolor) doesn't allow the specification 
of an alpha value. I needed to set everything to fully transparent when 
"erasing" the buffer. No emergency, but an idea for future implementation.

Slightly off topic, but I see you've been killing more bugs lately than 
an exterminator. Good job! gb3 is moving forward at the speed of light
