Platform: Windows 10.
Fossil version: 1.34 [62dcb00e68]

After making a few changes to a project (IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM)
and committing them on a feature branch, I tried to check out the main
development branch.  The result was a hard crash.  My repository is now in
a state where I can't open it, even in a fresh directory, and even after
doing a "fossil all rebuild".  When I try I get Windows 10's idiotic
dialogue: "Fossil is a simple, high-reliability, distributed software
configuration management system. has stopped working \ A problem caused the
program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and
notify you if a solution is available."  (All typos and odd wording
straight from the original.)

"fossil export" crashes as well.

I appear to have lost, according to "fossil ui" one check-in's worth of
work, most of which I fortunately happen to have in an archive.  I'm not
sure, however, how to go about getting the repository into a recoverable
state.  I *could* just use that archive as the basis of a new repository,
but now I'm left with this nagging question of when it will happen again.

Can anybody suggest some steps forward to recovery here?
