Crash with ''CORE DUMP'' When pressing home menu inside a game

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Opening app from HBC, playing a game rom from SD (My game was ''Advance
Guardian Heroes'' In case you need it.)
2. The text of the game, in my old TV appeared cut off, so i went to the
menu and set the video conf. to 50HZ, then decided to put it again to 60HZ,
but in PAL (Im spanish)
3. After putting it in 50HZ, I tried to go again to home menu and.. BOOM!
Say hello to mr core dump. I restarted the emulator several times (As much
as 10) Tried to use the home button of the wiimote/the one on the classic
pad/set my dog on fire, etc. Nothing worked, all brings me the core dump.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

As mentioned before, Core Dump

Does this issue occur on VBA-M r781
(http://vba-m.ngemu.com/vbam/vbacompiles/msvc2008/VisualBoyAdvance781.7z)?
If so, please report the issue to the VBA-M forum.

No, its with version 2.0.2

What version are you using? On GameCube or Wii?

Wii

Are you using the official build (from the downloads page or auto-update)?

Updated from homebrew browser, downloaded from here

Please provide any additional information below.

I guess I said everything I can recall. If someone need more info, I will
bring the much as I can. Thanks for this great emulator

Don't set your dog on fire, that never works.
Delete the XML configuration file.

I'll see if I can replicate this bug.

I can't replicate this bug in the latest SVN version.

Then, you recommend me if I install an older version/delete the one I have and
install the one from here? I didn't know it was an SVN ver.

I have downloaded the version from here, deleted the XML config file, and now I 
have
the solution to my issue, I will describe it after the break:

If you have an old TV like me, the text may appear cut off, to see all the text 
just
go to options - video - and in the section called ''Scaling'' Choose ''Mantain 
Aspect
Ratio'' And now all the text appears, but its still not OK in terms of 
stability --
While I was writing this, in the video options (I saved earlier) It crashed 
again
with CORE DUMP, I guess someone should fix these random core dump, just imagine 
if it
happens when finishing a game in which you can't save or has password only.

Thanks for your support again comrades! XD

You can save in any game using snapshots.

Sorry about the crashes. They don't happen for me.
