Chrome's reporting a C++ Runtime error with the 1Password extension enabled

The availability of Chrome 16 as a stable (non-Beta) release required an update to our extension for Chrome, as the previous version of the extension would no longer work. Starting with version 1.0.9.244, 1Password for Windows includes a new extension for Chrome that's designed to work with Chrome 16 and later versions.
