As others has pointed out, Porthos is not a particulary clean program. If 
you google a bit you will find lots of references to problems when running 
under MiNT.

Running wdialog together with N.AES is a sure way to provoce bus-errors.

Do you have a debug-version of MiNT and XaAES available? Then you could post 
the error messages you get when it crash. Also, enabling memory protection 
(if you've not done it already) could catch many errors before they turn 
into a bus-error.
