Could you describe step-by-step how you are adding the notes. Are you adding them using the mouse, etc.?
I am using the mouse to enter the notes. I'm unable to get MIDI keyboard entry working with the new version. (See my other entry on the forum regarding that.) I am putting notes on the first and third beat of the measure in. I have found it does not matter what beat I am placing that note.

Please describe the series of steps you are going through to add a note before the crash. Mention every step including every button you press, every place you click, etc.

I hope this is enough to help
As I’ve written, I am unable to any entry via my MIDI keyboard, which I know the manual states is the best way to do drum entry.
I have 3 GB ram and 250 G HD running on Windows Vista.

With your detailed instructions I was to reproduce the crash. I filed a bug report with a simplified series of steps in the issue tracker:
