It looks like something went wrong in Core Graphics, most likely a quirk of your video card that Apple's programming hadn't accounted for. That memory dump is sent to Apple automatically, and hopefully they'll have all of these details sorted out by the time its out of beta. :-)

You can send them feedback regarding Safari for Windows from Apple's feedback website. Let them know the error you had so that they can repair it in the next revision.

Also remember, Safari for Windows is still in beta so it's expected that not everything will work right. I know there was a 3.01 release that addressed some security and bug issues, so you might want to uninstall your version, download the 3.01 version, and install the 3.01 version. Even still, since it is in beta you'll be sending them information that they might not have come across and they might be able to squash that bug before the final release.
 
3.0.1 only fixed the zero-day security issues. Nothing has changed on Safari for Windows' general disabilities on international versions of Windows (can't display fonts in bold or italic, crashes on various sites, can't display _most_ webpages correctly because of the previously mentioned bugs...). My guess: Apple thought of the web-app thing for iPhone a couple of weeks ago and urged the Safari makers to slap a Windows version together in order to spike development of webapps for iPhone. It's a pity, really. Apple, with all its UI guidelines and being famous for usability, can't make _any_ of their apps on Windows look like either good Windows or Mac apps. And with the browser, it simply shows more. :/ This is hurting Apple very much in the international press.

Now that you mentioned that, it does seem very pathetic that Apple has done this. Basically Safari was released so that people could do the development for the iPhone on Windows and test with Safari. Meh...
