This is not in the bug tracker. Do you have a reproducible test case?
I think I fixed one bug related to this a while back.

I've never crashed WinHugs, ever. If you could say *what* crashes Hugs
we'd have a much better chance and fixing it.

Just delete the directory and you'll be fine, it doesn't install
.dll's in Windows directories etc. This is a known bug, and on the bug
tracker, and will be fixed in a new release shortly.

Thanks
