Emulator crashes when loading or saving states from XBOX 360 controller (with hot keys mapped to any button on the controller)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to load state using XBOX 360 controller with mapped keys
2. Try to save state using XBOX 360 controller with mapped keys
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Load or save states with XBOX 360 controller. Emulator crashes/freezes when 
saving state and repeats clicking sound. Emulator freezes with grey screen when 
trying to load state.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Demul 0.5.8.2. Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit; 6GB RAM; Geforce 
570 GTX.

Please provide any additional information below.
Loading or saving save states using XBOX 360 controller, works with no problem 
on version 0.5.1 (tried it again, just before submitting), mapped to any button 
on the controller. Works with no problem mapped to keyboard.

Tried with new install and the problem persists. Internaly it seems to save but 
it crashes when doing so. Found a peculiar way to load state when it freezes: 
Load game --> go to CONFIG --> go to CONTROLS .... Game then loads state.
