%%%--- Operating System, Graphics card ---
Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1, Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

Error:

Blender 2.66a 64-bit (http://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.66/blender-2.66a-windows64.zip)
Blender 2.67 64-bit (official binary)
Blender r56693 64-bit (http://builder.blender.org/download/blender-2.67-r56693-win64.zip)
Working: none I know of
- Short description of error ---
  Rendering a scene which contains a text object with a remesh modifier and a material texture causes Blender to crash, apparently depending on some details of the text object and the remesh modifier.
- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

Either open the attached remesh.blend file or do the following steps 1a–1h.
1a. Load the factory settings.
1b. Delete the default cube.
1c. Add a text object.
1d. Enter Edit mode, and edit the text to single letter “g”. Exit Edit mode.
1e. Go to the Object Data pane. In the Geometry section, change Extrude to 0.2.
1f. Go to the Object Modifiers pane. Add Remesh modifier, and change Octree Depth to 5.
1g. Go to the Materials pane. Click New to add a material.
1h. Go to the Texture pane. Click New to add a texture to the material.
Render. Blender crashes.

Remarks

The crash is 100% reproducible with the aforementioned steps on my computer.
I cannot test on other computers than this one. Excuse me if this turns out to be an issue with the device driver.
Blender renders the scene without problem if the aforementioned steps are modified in any of the following ways (only tested with Blender 2.67).
(i) Convert the text object to a mesh (Alt+C) between steps 1e and 1f.
(ii) Convert the text object to a mesh (Alt+C) before step 2 (which also applies the modifier).
(iii) Do not change Octree Depth from its default value 4 in step 1f.
