Summary: [pix_film] breaks Pd

Initial Comment:
I'm trying to load a film into [pix_film], but that makes Pd shut down. Is there a way of sending a bug report or something?
The system is XP, both Pd 0.42-ext and 0.43-ext. It makes the same with any film file, either from the Gem examples, or something else.

Message:
you are using the official channel to submit bugreports. there is *no
other* way...

anyhow, please answer the following:

what's your version of Gem?

which film-plugins do you have installed (check for files called
gem_film*.dll besides your Gem.dll)?
what happens if you uninstall those plugins (that is: move them to another
place)
re-enable the plugins one-by-one (copy them back besides your Gem.dll), and
check (and report) which plugin makes your system crash.
once you established, which plugin crashes, check whether you have some
special setup regarding the given backend (e.g. filmQT fails, and you have
a broken QuickTime installation)
