Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Incomplete

Bug description:
Pretty much all the time, just clicking on anything at any time, will cause the program to crash. The worst time was when I right clicked to get a menu on an item in the list of media files, and then the program crashed, causing a total of freeze of everything in the GUI. I tried a console to use sudo killall openshot, but it did not work. I had to reset the X server completely before I could do anything at all. 
I am using Ubuntu 9.04, 64-bit, with 4 GB RAM, > 1 TB HDD, trying to create short videos using AVCHD video files mostly from my Panasonic Lumix TZ7 digital camera.
OpenShot 1.0.0.1, installed from DEB.
I save often and regularly so that I do not lose any work, but it is a bit much to have to click Save every single time before doing anything in case it crashes.
