Well, the solution is: it is the IDE Extras folder that screws up

Really? That's interesting. What did you have in your IDE Extras folder? Please put it back and send me a crash long, along with this information.

I was skeptical about this IDE Extras folder solution, but since I've been crashing regularly all morning, not to mention the last few days, I was ready to try anything. Since renaming the IDE Extras folder in my RB folder to "_IDE Extras", I have not crashed since. I have been trying to replicate the conditions that caused earlier crashes as closely as possible, but no crashes since renaming the Extras folder.

I did some more tests and came up with something weird. I had an empty folder
named "Exception handler" in the Templates folder. This was the culprit.
Deleting or renaming cured the "unexpected quits".

I can reproduce that with no problem. But, this does NOT happen if the
folder is called anything else, OR the folder is not empty.

No "Exception handler" sub-folder here. But still no crashes since renaming the IDE Extras folder.
