Aaaaaghhh, keeps crashing on ending!

I cleared the game on Normal perfectly fine with Hugo, Hard with Yunica... but I just completed a Nightmare run with Thor AND THE GAME KEEPS CRASHING DURING THE ENDING.

First it crashed right after Kain's final speech, then it crashed again right before the credits. So I can't get my final cleared save.

Is there some setting I need to adjust to avoid the crash? Or alternatively, anyone have a cleared Nightmare save for Thor...?

EDIT: Nevermind, I did it a third time and it finally didn't crash. No idea what that was all about. I did patch to the latest Vista version either prior to or during my Thor run, so I wonder if that had something to do with it...?

I guess I'll leave this up for later reference if anyone else gets hit by this potentially soul-crushing problem, so that any common factors can be figured out...

Hmmm, got another weird crash while playing Arena mode. I actually lost the the bonus I had unlocked (Thor EX mode), but it kept my times for the levels I cleared.

It seems like in general I've had a lot more crashes since updating to the latest version -- in fact, I'm not sure I had any at all prior to updating. So if you're running an older version and your game is working fine as it is, you might want to forego the update for the time being...
