Fatal error when trying to load 'Choose Toolbox Items' dialog

A while ago I posted an item about Visual Studio 2008 Power Commands. Although it really adds some nice features to the IDE it also added a less nice feature. It turned out that Power Commands was able to let Visual Studio 2008 crash.

I wanted to add some items to the toolbox, so I clicked on the 'Choose Items' menu item in the contextmenu of the toolbox. After a few seconds of loading the active instance of Visual Studio was closed.

The following error was logged into the Event Logs:

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (66DE5E00) (80131506)

After reading a bit on the Internet it turned out that Power Commands could be source. After removing Power Commands the issue was disappeared as well.

Power Commands is still in development, however there hasn't been a lot of activity lately. You can get the latest version here.
