IE 7 crashes when I close a tab and sometimes when I close IE

I just installed IE 7 Beta 2, and the first time I ran it (after a restart), I noticed that it crashed when I closed a tab or closed IE.

It also crashes when I post a message here. It will crash when I hit 'Post Message' when I'm done composing this message.

I checked the system logs, and see this for each crash:

Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 7.0.5346.5, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x03b0518c.

and sometimes this:

Fault bucket 287118396.

I'm guessing they don't do much for diagnosing the problem. I googled for this and didn't really find a fix for it or evidence of it being a widespread problem.

Is there something I can do to help figure this out? Like post the contents of a dump file or something?
 
I installed the Beta yesterday. I had a problem on this site and a few others when I would open tabs in the background. IE would crash. After going to see how to report bugs and finding the process to be a pain, I promptly uninstalled 7.

I didn't like the new look. Also, didn't like how the favorites worked.
 
I like the took and feel, and the feature of showing thumbnails for each tab that's open was really really cool. I've been looking for a plugin for Firefox to do that but haven't found one.

BTW, it crashes when I close a tab in thumbnail view too.
 
You're trying to troubleshoot a beta product that's crashing? Just report the bugs and let Microsoft fix it before the final release.
