Vshost Crash with 2008 SP1

Question

After installing 2008 SP1, I now get vshost crashes everytime I open a report in an application in debug mode in VS2005. The crash doesn't happen immediately -- only when I close the application.
In addition, my clients are reporting application crash messages when the application closes after updating my installs to use the latest 2008 SP1 Merge Modules.

Hi John,
Samples only show how to use the API, they are not code complete and not always valid fully function complete. Generating errors is always a possibility.
Our Program Manager is aware of the issue. Here's his post on another thread:
Hi,
We take this issue seriously, and are working to reproduce it.
If you need to switch between the free CR Basic included in VS 2008, and paid CR 2008, you can switch without rebuilding machines by using the Visual Studio Integration Manager.
Here's what we tested last night in our Shanghai lab:
Developer machine: Windows Vista Business SP1, VS TeamSystem 2008 RTM, Crystal Reports 2008 SP1. Test application target framework was built to .Net Framework 2.0/3.0/3.5.
Deployment target machines:
Windows Business SP1, .Net Framework 3.0;
Windows Ultimate SP1, .Net Framework 3.5 SP1;
Windows Server 2008 Standard edition SP1, .Net Framework 3.0;
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise edition SP2, .Net Framework 3.0 SP1;
Windows XP Professional SP2, .Net Framework 2.0 SP1
DEP was turned on for all the deployment targets.
Unfortunately we couldn't reproduce the bug.
For scenarios like this where we need to work more closely to reproduce an issue, we ask that you buy a single support case on our estore. If this turns out to be a bug we will happily refund the cost of the case and fix the bug.

Once someone commits to doing this we can move it forward. Sorry it's the way it works, we have processes in place that need to be followed.
Can you also confirm if you are using the ADO.NET driver as Jason asked?
Thanks again
Don
