Far as I know, the absolute latest is at http://www.abisource.com/~tom/
Look for the "nightly builds" link I think. I'm also not sure this one is
updated nightly, but my understanding is that you'll get whatever is most
recent for Windows at this URL (not Linux).

Go to http://bugzilla.abisource.com and spend some time playing around
with the queries. You can search for and find already filed bugs, but be
prepared to spend a little time poking around and reading bugs to find
what you're looking for. In other words, you may have to read through
quite a few bug reports to make sure the one you want to file hasn't
already been done. As a matter of fact, there's one on file already for
the behavior you describe: crashing in Windows when changing settings in
page setup. I cannot remember offhand whether that one has been fixed or
not.
Cheers,
Drew
