actaually, this has been happening since b5 for me, but I never got around to posting it.
The problem: after analysis, MyDefrag crashes
The Debuglog: (note: only the portion at the end is posted; the text file is 2.11MB)

What I think: (I haven't read any posts on here since b3, so maybe this has already been suggested) after each drive, MyDefrag doesn't seem to clean itself up right. It's almost like it's corrupting it's own memory, as this always happens on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. drive, never the first. If the 1st drive needs more than a few files fixed, then it crashes on the second drive. Since the second drive is an HP restore partition, if MyDefrag doesn't crash, it will on the 3rd drive if the 3rd drive is good (and the first) it will go on. So basically, after a "bad" drive, the next "bad" drive will crash. Due to this, my USB external (drive Z:, either #4 or #5 in the list of things to do) hasn't been defragmented for a while; it's starting to slow down.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: just read some otehr posts and I have a few things to add. First, You obviously have your own hypothesis, and I suspect it's not taht different from my own. Seccondly, I think the reason the crash report is sometimes there, sometimes not is that I've experienced two types of crashes with MyDefrag: one where MyDefrag tells me 'Oops! I've Crashed!...' and says to put my log here, and another where Windows tells me the program experienced an error and needs to close. It seems that when windows closes the app, no crash report is done.
