Today, when I start at the root of the working copy and choose "check for modifications", it works.  When I then click "check repository", it works for a few moments and then crashes. I tried upgrading to 1.7.4, but got the same results. I noticed the crash reporting is different in 1.7.4 -- i sent along the report using the automated tool.

Completed does not mean correct. The Upgrade process is not as robust
as it should be. A fresh checkout may fix your problem.
