<Vegas> Crash on project load

I've discovered a rather bizarre bug.

I keep my current projects on my local harddrive, and when
I don't work on them daily I have a network mapped drive
(S:, in this case) to store them on. The good thing with
Vegas is of course that I can still access the projects on
X: and take a peek, or even render them, instead of having
to move them over to my local drive. I just point to the
new location (x:) at startup. Very handy.

However, this sometimes causes Vegas to crash. Not on
startup or project load, but when I wish to play a piece of
video. If the video file is not located at X:, it asks me
for a replacement file. When I then position my cursor
somewhere inside the video file and click, to see the
corresponding frame pop up in the video preview window,
Vegas simply dies, with a crash reference to kernel32.dll.

Anyone else recognize this?

We have made some improvements to networked media handling, and these
will be included in the next update, currently scheduled for
September.
