Do you get the crash if you edit zenmapCore/Nmap.py and change the
Unicode strings to plain strings? So change

APP_NAME = u"zenmap"

to 

APP_NAME = "zenmap"

for all the strings. If so then the problem isn't Vladimir's fault, it's
something I did to try to fix the database file not being found on
Windows.
