More often in the title screens or menu's when looking at races to select the game just suddenly exits producing no apparent error message. This almost always happens if I spend too long trying to select a race but has also happened at the title screen before I select to start a skirmish.
This is the debug text from the last crash which happened in the race pick screen.
