GC crashes when returning from game to main menu and starting new game - trap 5 at 0054B023

This may have already been reported but I was not sure an SE report had been included.

This happened by returning to the main menu via the options menu and selecting "start new game". After changing the bonus picks on the first screen and going to the second screen (no changes) and clicking "done" the game crashed.
