I don't know what this does, but wonder if it uses a lot of memory.

Were you running on one dual boot machine (with the same memory available 
to each OS) or on two different machines, especially with different amounts 
of memory.

Try using binary search (ie, try 2200 next) to pin down the exact breakdown 
point (as in 2123 works, 2124 does not) if there is one, or whether the 
breakdown is run dependent.  Unload other apps and non-essential background 
process to see if that changes anything

If it is not a resource issue, assume the latter since it crashed in 
Numarray.  I think its maintainers would want to know about it.
