Digital BW, The Print

Update: same problem with the new combined installation (2.1c).

Works fine until I try to use the curves. Using curves causes
quadtoprinter.exe to crash.

Any help appreciated. And, again, apologies if I am missing something
obvious.

Here is a copy of the log file generated:
