Bitcoin-qt crash with solo mining

ok, I'm a bit stuck here.
I start bitcoin qt, runs ok, until I start mining.
It mines for a bit ( few minutes tops, sometimes only a few seconds), and then Bitcoin-qt crashes.
It seems to happen right after a new block has been found on the network.


In the system application log, it only says it got stuck on msvcrt.dll, version: 7.0.2600.5512 on 0x00023509.

My bitcoin.conf :

datadir=e:\btc\data
server=1
rpcuser=xxx
rpcpassword=xxx
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=2223
addnode=85.214.251.25

I'm using bfg-miner:  mining seems to work (getting hashrate and stuff) , it's just impossible to mine since the bitcoin-qt always crashes.
Any thoughts on this one ?

EDIT:
 just tried it again. I let the client sync first (runs fine during that), after that I start bfg-miner, and it crashes. Last output from debug.log:

(Side note: I'm solo mining, it's a long shot (very long shot ;-)) since I only have an Antminer U1, but it's a fun little project ;-))
