Safari 5 Crashing on Windows 7 x64 when typing in address bar.

Question

As stated in the subject, the problem I have with Safari 5 is when I try to type in the address bar. Safari simply crashes with this log:

What seems strange is that everything else works fine. I can check my rss feeds and I can even type into the google search bar and pull up the website I need. I just can't use the address bar. I'm thinking this might have to do with the new features in Safari 5 but I don't know enough to pin it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This seems to be an issue for other users as well.
Edit: I Have "Reset Safari" and it seems to be working for now. I'll give it a while and see what happens. I thought it was strange that I should have to do this but I read it on another post. It seems to be working so far. Perhaps there is something else though that is crashing it? I'll leave this open until I get a response.

I had this exact problem on Windows XP. As soon as I tried typing in the address bar, crash. Every single time. I also reset everything and it stopped the constant crashes related to the address bar. It still seems much less stable than Safari 4, as I cannot got more than a couple hours without a random crash still occurring.
I have reset Safari again and went a step further and uninstalled it, uninstalled all Apple software, deleted all Apple data from Documents and Setting (All users and my user), reinstalled Safari (and iTunes, mobileme control pane, etc)...still crashing frequently, usually at least once an hour but never less than once every couple hours.
