The following crash has been reported by a couple of machines running the 2013 R1 build. The reason is a bug in WPF 4.0 which MS has released a hotfix for: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2461678 We confirmed the crash no longer happens on a machine which we were always able to replicate the problem.
