Hanging after clicking 'Goto' in Solar sys. browse dialog

I've been playing with Celestia for a few weeks now - great piece of work, however, after installing the latest patch I have a problem when using the solar system browser dialog - I bring up the dialog and click on, say, Uranus and then click on Goto - the view rotates a bit and it looks like the transit to the selected location has started and then the computer hangs and I have to hit the reset button (CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't work).
My system details;
600 MHz P3
128Mb Ram
Matrox G400 16Mb graphics card

I haven't been able to reproduce this problem . . . does this happen for anyone else?
Xerxes, which version of Celestia are you using? 1.2.0 for Windows?

Hi Chris,
Sorry - should have said - I installed 1.2.0 Windows and it ran OK except for the known problem of crashing when you flipped between Options & Browse dialogs, I then downloaded and installed your patch 1.2.1 and the problem ocurred.
I think I might need to grab the full 1.2.1 download and install that to see if the problem still ocurs.
Regards
Norman

Me again - just erased everything, re-downloaded 1.2.1 and installed - I get the same problem, pick a planet from the solar sys. browser - it starts the transit and then hangs.
Erased everything and re-installed 1.2.0 - everything is OK now except for the known bug.
Sigh! guess I'll just have to stick 1.2.0 for a while.
Cheers

Drivers?

Did you try different drivers for your Matrox? Maybe it's a bug in the drivers.

OnK!
Excellent piece of programming BTW!
Only heard about Celestia recently through the UK's PC Zone magazine, so downloaded the 1.2.1 version yesterday.
Urrmmm, I get the same thing, (chose GOTO, etc.) PC freezes and have to reset it (rather than doing a CTRL-ALT-DEL). Also, it'll just as often give me a totally blank screen, then I get the monitor's "No Signal" message. At this stage the PC doesn't reboot, I have to do that manually.
Happens about 70% of the time.
PIII 800Mhz/512MB PC133
ATI Radeon 64Mb DDR (original Radeon)
ATI Driver 4.13.7189
SB Live Platinum (latest drivers)
Windows ME
All the best,

...just to add to the above;
Happens in both Full Screen (tried 800x600 32bit and 1024x768 32bit) or Window'ed mode (1280x1024, 32bit colour)
All the best,

I have the same problem with 1.2.1 on Win2K Athlon 1200 and XP1500+
A7V(133 & 266E) both with GeForce2MX.
The problem is still there even if you simply change any
rendering option: check on or off one of them, press OK and....
Celestia disappears
.
I was looking for version 1.2.2 for this reason
