Serious MSWin crash when using both Allchars and Jedit

Dear all,
I use a nice MSWin app called Allchars (http://allchars.zwolnet.com/) that allows me to type all kinds of accented and special characters using my qwerty keyboard and CTRL+keys sequences. In fact, I couldn't work without it.
Before that, I was using the "Accents" Jedit plugin to type those characters. It was great, but it was a bit painful to cut and paste text from jedit to other apps (mail client, web browser, etc.) all the time.
However, there is a serious drawback to the use of Allchars when using Jedit. In fact, having both Allchars and Jedit running can cause serious MSWin crashes. (I mean, complete crash and reboot of the system.)
I have no clue why Jedit conflicts with Allchars so badly. (NB: the "Accents" plugin is not enabled when crashes occur.) I guess that there might be something related to CTRL+keys sequences since both Allchars and Jedit are using them to issue commands.
Since Jedit is the only app I know that conflicts with Allchars (I am using Mozilla apps and OpenOffice without problem, and they have lots of CTRL+keys sequences) I was wondering if this conflict could be the symptom of a hidden bug or design problem in Jedit?
In any case, I thank you in advance for your help.
David.
