I didn't see the crash yet, but the display bug you mention near the
end of your message is reproducible on my Windows XP box. Thanks.

"Repeat step one" means invoking Emacs again from the command line?
Or killing the buffer and revisiting wrap_crash.org from the same
Emacs session? If the former, it sounds strange that a new invocation
of Emacs would behave differently from the previous one (unless
there's an uninitialized variable somewhere...).

This is related to the ellipsis that Org mode displays instead of
lines it hides. If you type "M-x show-all RET", you will see the same
display bug. I will work on fixing it, but in general, Org mode
should set bidi-paragraph-direction to `left-to-right' in all its
buffers, because using "* FOO" outlines with FOO in left-to-right
script assumes left-to-right paragraphs, and because Org mode does not
enforce an empty line before the "* FOO" lines, making them assume the
direction of the previous paragraph, which looks odd.
