Thanks for your hint. I've back to 2011.2.0.cf0eaefbe0dd built by Matthew Petroff (that's prebuilt beta1) and the workflow works !
Can't trigger FPW carsh so far. I'm on Win7_x64/ 14GB RAM/ AMD 965(4 core)/ NVidia 460/ tested with 120 photoes.

Title:
Fast Preview Hangs or Crashes since 2011.0
Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
Confirmed
Bug description:
EDIT (August 6, 2011): summarized known information
*WORKAROUND FOR USERS*: disable the Overview
1- start Hugin
2- load a project
3- go to the Fast Preview Window. don't touch anything else but described below as this could trigger the bug
4- hit the button Show/Hide to hide the Overview
5- quit Hugin
Now Hugin should perform well.
*AFFECTED SYSTEMS*
- CPU: all systems with more than one thread, that is multi-core CPUs as well as single-core CPUs with hyperthreading.
- Operating Systems: due to the different implementations of threading and OpenGL on different platform, some systems are more prone to error than others. Mac OS X seems to be the least affected. Windows seems to be the most affected.
*AFFECTED VERSIONS*
- All versions of Hugin since the introduction of the Overview in the Fast Preview are affected. That is, all versions after revision 4808:8c577b320714 2011-01-09 12:21:18
- This includes the final releases of 2011.0.0 as well as all beta/candidate releases of 2011.2.0
*SUMMARY FOR DEVELOPERS / BUG HUNTERS*
This is most likely a threading issue. Lukáš' hypothesis: "a race
condition in OpenGL calls, when OGL is called by separate threads from
both overview and fast preview. The reason is that OpenGL is not
thread-safe and it can cause various problems when used within multi-
threaded application."
Run 'valgrind --tool=helgrind hugin' and try to reproduce the error to
produce a useful backtrace like

*ORIGINAL BUG REPORT BELOW FOR COMPLETION:*
Upgraded from 2010.4 to 2011.0.0 and it has hung 3 times in about 15
sessions. All three hangs happened while doing the same thing.....
new session, load images, load a lens profile, set the canvas size
(Calculate optimal size), save-as and save profile then click on GL
(fast preview) button. Fast preview window comes up, shows anchor
image and then hangs.
Is not reproducible. Running 2011.0.0.0fd3e119979c built by Matthew
Petroff on 64-bit Win7.
