No, not that I recall.  If it did w/ 0.2.10, it was rare or I would have 
remembered it.
AFAIK, the log created if for Tor info / errors only - so nothing about 
Vidalia errors.  The only non specific msg from the Vista "program has 
stopped working" window - in details - just says an 'apphang' & 
identifies vidalia.exe .  A few other #s listed in err msg, but nothing 
that would help trouble shooting, in my experience.  I can capture the 
err msg next time, but doubt it will help.

If the tor-log has any useful info about Vidalia crashes, I'm not 
advanced enough to find it.  Current log is set for standard output 
(stdout).
