Thanks for all the additional information. Unfortunately I can't
reproduce the issue on Vista yet either. Could you send me your
.minttyrc to take out another variable?

Installed via setup.exe, from .zip, or built from source?

Hmm, that replaces the whole desktop, right? Could be relevant. If
it's not too much trouble, could you try disabling it briefly to check
whether that makes the crash go away?

Yep, the window switching shortcut was only introduced in 0.7, so in
0.4 you're just getting the keycode. Bash doesn't know it and
complains via the bell. Same thing happens with other unmapped
keycodes.
