Possible fix for bug #106501 (crash while downloading Steinicke NGC catalog from GHNS)
I never confirmed a crash, but I did see odd behavior in downloading the Steinicke catalog: console output indicates that it reads the new catalog into memory three times, which causes a long UI delay. I tried to understand why it's happening, but I don't think I succeeded. As a workaround, I added a bool member "NGCUpdated" to KSNewStuff, which starts out false and is set true by the installation of the Steinicke NGC catalog. The installation will not be attempted if NGCUpdated is true.
Please test to see if this resolves your crash condition.
