L4Mac Crashing with Commands and Searches

Am running the latest version (4a SR-4) of L4Mac on my Mac.

I had been working through an L4Mac crash problem (crashed on opening to saved layout).  Tom's advice worked: If you hold down Cmd as the application is starting, you can select "Use
a blank layout" which should allow you to get back to a workable state.
It looks like there is a problem with one of the searches that was run
in your last layout.

I successfully used the Cmd workaround to open and rebuild my layout without problems.  L4 behaved normally, opening to the new layout without problem.

When, in the normal course of studies a few days later I used the command window for the first time (since the crash/rebuild layout), it immediately crashed.  I reopened, tried it again, and it crashed again.  I then tried a basic search (a lookup in Bible Dictionaries collection) with the search window, and it crashed again.  I then reopened and tried a bible search, which it completed with no crash.  Seems like command window and basic searches crash it.

I'd be grateful for anyone's help.
