Bug Description

This could be a dupe of another crash report, but I'd like to file this bug while it's hot.

So I had bzr-explorer running almost all day without problems. Also I have disabled automatic refresh. As far as I see explorer still watching on files which was opened in editor via explorer menu. This could be related, or maybe not.

Crash occured while I've edited a file in my FTE. This file was previously opened via explorer in Notepad++. Then Notepad++ was closed.

I've edited the file and saved it several times. And suddenly explorer crashed, even so I did not work with it (explorer window was in the background). Error dialog said:

---------------------------
bzr: bzr.exe - Application Error
---------------------------
The instruction at "0x7c911689" referenced memory at "0xffffffff". The memory could not be "read".

Click on OK to terminate the program
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Maybe there is some race condition, if file saved (changed) and file notification triggered, then explorer (maybe) doing `bzr status`, and while doing so another notification triggered.

Changed in bzr-explorer:
status: New → Confirmed
importance: Undecided → High

I think new guard code in explorer trunk which disable too-often refresh on changes in watched files should help with that problem. Anyway, this is refresh issue, I'm sure.
