iirc, the character ^ is (was?) the escape character on windows shell. so it is possible to create problems. not really sure about.
at least on my win7 box it does not crash, it worked as expected. but maybe it causes problems on older windows versions. please, can you try to workaround it doing this: escape the escape character with --rule-left="^^%"
i played around a bit with invalid rules and then was able to find a rule that always leads to a crash. i will catch this error in next version v0.20, so oclHashcat will show a error message and not crash. thanks for the report on this.
