Sorry, that was nonsense. The problem is still there.

The crash is caused by the text tool trying to remove the blobs from 
the non-existing window in TextInfoBarOp::Message. When it gets a view 
change message it calls GetVisibleSpread() on the old view. I presume 
the IsScreenCamView() call that was removed (see the portnote in line 
2602) was meant to prevent the problem. Somehow we need a way to 
distinguish between a dead old view and a live old view. Apparently, 
testing oOldView against NULL does not do that.
