I'm not totally sure that's the bug causing the crash, since we saw already
a lot of crashes on startup (the
"illegal storage access" message is very generic), for different reasons.
But it is hard to know what exactly
is the problem (it might be something such as a wrong 3D driver). Where you
doing something such as
opening or creating a new document, or did FreeCAD crash before doing
anything? Did the FreeCAD
window open?

But as Teemu says, the 0.11 release is imminent, so there are high chances
that whatever causes that crash
will be solved with it.
