Sometimes, and it seems always with an AC crash, the button says 'try again' instead of 'reopen'. In this case there's some additional warning about 'settings'.
Today I tried the 'try again' button after an AC crash. When it relaunched I noticed the startup dialog had no recent files. Instead of going further I hit 'Quit AC'. After AC quit the system offered a dialog saying something to the effect of, 'the application's settings have changed, do you want to keep the new settings'. I said no. Then I relaunched AC normally, the startup dialog had recent files, and everything was fine.
It seems that 'try again' has an adverse impact on the preferences. I think had I proceeded to launch AC, or said 'yes' to the 'new settings' box, I would have wiped my prefs. Maybe further testing next time.
My advice is, where AC is concerned, ignore the friendly relaunch offer.

What I wonder is why you have AC crashes? You say "Sometimes, and it seems always with an AC crash"... and I can't remember when I had an AC crash? It would seem you must have something off somewhere.. an add-on, a misbehaving object.. a corrupt font.. something must cause your crashes when I really can't remember when I last crashed??? I do work everyday (well, I should) and have 3 AC's open most of the time.
