More likely, the issue(s) is/are with the JS engine we use and they're more
prevalent on 32-bit platforms (e.g. Win32) or just Windows in general. Hard to
say as the engine is very old now and doesn't support 64-bit Windows builds,
so a bit hard to compare and confirm. In any case, we'll upgrade the JS engine
someday and hopefully those unexplained crashes (which we *do* see on 64-bit
*nix builds under heavy JS activity) will go away.
