Title says it all. I think it only happens if I exit while a song is still playing ... not 100% of the time, but fairly frequent. I've kept my options basically identical for years without any issues so I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing similar problems.

Crashes started the day I installed 5.5. ModName from error report is in_vorbis.dll. Sound drivers haven't been touched for roughly 2 months.

I forgot to mention that it also crashes DrWatson as well almost 100% of the time, then both hang out in the process list until I manually kill them.

Edit: I have no Ogg files so I deleted the DLL and haven't had any crashes yet. I also searched the Winamp forums - there were a few cases of similarity with this particular plugin but they all seemed to related to playing Ogg files.
