( cc'ed to the qgis-user list...)

So just to summarize:
You have QGIS 1.4.0 on Mac OSX 10.5.8.
You import a text file with the delimited text plugin and X-Y 
coordinates in Lat-Lon, then export to shapefile, choosing EPSG:4326 as 
the CRS. This works OK.
Then you import a second text file where the X-Y coords are in the Irish 
Grid, and you try to export to a shapefile, choosing the EPSG:29902 CRS 
and QGIS crashes.
It that about right?
