heh, no the test area isn't meant to shutdown - on mine it enumerates a few images and lets you move them around like the sketch based physics view.

If its crashing it most likely a bad picture or something *yikes*
Could you run liqbase from the console (something like "liqbase-run >~/MyDocs/liqbase.log") and send me the log to my address.

It should highlight where the problem is, if not the logging I do is useless and needs fixing.
