Before doing voodo "fixes", I would suggest you change your code back to the way it was, duplicate the error, and actually figure out why the crash occurs so that a proper fix can be established. Otherwise, you have a program that cannot be proven that it's stable.
I totally agree that such fixes are not the way to proceed with such problems with c/c++ code. They might temporarily mask the problem but at some stage they will come back 'to bite you hard'. The only way to deal with these problems is with some hard debugging to find the source of the problem and to then change the faulty code appropriately in the knowledge that you know what you are doing and why you are changing the code. Just 'trying a few things' and seeing what happens is not the way to fix any problem!
