Hi Rob,

I did the series of actions you mentioned in your original post and the behaviour was as you described for each step, and left it there.

I just had another play, probably starting Kstars about 25 times. What I would say now is that (at least for me) the crash is less deterministic than your original post implies. So I've had crashes when
- the Guide Simulator is not defined in the profile
- several crashes in a row (where Indi Server should still be running)
- and not had crashes when Guide Simulator is defined and I've stopped Indi Server.
- I had a run of several starts when no crashes happened (Guide Simulator defined, disconnecting from Indi).

So it seems a bit more random, but generally more crashes when Guide Simulator is included.

I've tried playing with 3.5.4 Stable again, probably starting it a dozen times with and without the Guide Simulator - no crashes.

Hope this helps.

John.
