LinearBlur FX crashes!

Just discovered this after about 2 hours of debugging. Observed this behavior on two different machines running XP Home in Vegas 3.0c, 4.0c and 4.0d.

When you have a text event (could be any event I suppose) on which the Linear Blur changes from an angle of 0.0 to some angle less than 1 (0.357, 0.099, etc.), Vegas crashes rendering the event. See veg here.

Workaround is to use angles greater than or equal to 1.

I didn't need (why would you?) to use such a small angle. I'm guessing I fat-fingered the angle or something to set it to such a strange value.

Anyway, if your Linear Blurs suddenly start crashing, might make sure the angles are kosher.

After discussing this with tech support, discovered that if you uninstall 4.0c before installing 4.0d, then you don't get the crash.

But, of course, you loose all your presets when you do that.
