Hello, long time. 
Just had a crash (years since seeing one).
Wings 1.51 stable, Windows version.
I was moving using tweak and with magnet radius, having hidden some faces to not get them affected (using standard left mouse button click only version of ".hide." command) . Was working in preview subdivided mode (shift + tab) . It was exactly while dragging, if I remember well.
The message of you can continue working after clicking with the mouse, shows, but it wouldn't work. It enters a kind of loop, blinks like crazy. And bellow appears, in a progress blue bar, something like "..vertex normals" or "...normals" repeated all the line.
Can't kill the app with alt + f4 nor other ways. Need to alt tab, kill it with Windows task Manager or similar. (kill task erl.exe)
Sorry, cannot pass the model, all content is signed under a NDA... :/
OS: Windows 7 home premium, 64 bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 275 . Driver ver. 331.82
CPU: core i7 860 2.8 ghz. 8gb ram.
First time to see this crash/bug.
Crash dump, I hope it might be useful somehow :

EDIT: After more tries, I realize that it tends to destroy the mouse cursor (only over the Wings app), hide it somehow. You can still access (alt+ menu does not work) with mouse the menu, and exit correctly. Besides, the 3D model drawing mode changes, changing like to vertexes over faceted, no wires, model display. As always, it does not damage your system nor stability.
IMPORTANT NOTE : It does not crash in very similar conditions and actions, I had been long hours working with this model. It is almost completely certain is due to using the ".hide." command (the hidden faces were of an object that was separated but later bridged) and then move things near the hidden faces area, or affected (if they were seen) by the magnet radius. Just loaded the model, does not crash if you hide the faces, it crashes if you have done that previously to these tweak drags with magnet on that you do in sort of near zones.
Edit : For anyone having this issue, using TOOLS/magnet mask/lock, works great to accomplish same purpose. I'm an old timer, but been modeling less lately, was not aware of this new feature
