My advice is to reboot XBMC every day and be done with it. Save you hours of chasing your tail around these useless forums and installing crap like XBMC Launcher.

I have a similar problem on my XBMC running under Windows 8. It appears to occur whenever my HD has fallen asleep and I try to play something in XBMC: the application crashes. I'm experienced in debugging applications, but haven't done so in this case yet because this always happens when I want to watch a movie rather than debug XBMC.
I already ran XBMC in a simple debugger to log what exceptions happened before the crash. From this it appears that an unhandled std::bad_alloc::bad_alloc C++ exception is causing the crash. My machine has 8Gb of RAM and there is no logical reason why it should run out of memory at this point. I fully expect it to request an excessive amount of memory because of some logic flaw in the code, such as an integer signedness error or underflow, but I haven't fully debugged it to find out yet.
Since this bug is reproducible on a regular basis, it should not be too hard for me to create a dump and debug that later. Where can I find an XBMC developer to talk to about this bug, and provide him/her with more details about the exact crash?

FWIW, I also have this very annoying problem of an Acer Revo hanging or crashing on resume from sleep. Windows 7. Willing to do whatever I can to help others not have this problem..
