[1.08b.094] Particle Cauldron crashing

Pretty consistantly

from Elemental Forums

It crashes a lot. I don't have too many crashes when playing the game, and I think I've only had it crash once when in tile editor. But for some reason, the particle cauldron doesn't like my computer. Anyways, it seems to crash if I try to load an effect. I can load up one, or two, then the next time I hit the load button, it just freezes, and windows closes it (no zip file generated). I'll include my debug.err file, but I don't think it's going to tell you too much. Oh yeah, it also apparently doesn't like the clear button either. Again, I can usually hit it once, then the next time I do (can be an hour later), it freezes. Let me know if you need any other info.

If there was a dump zip created in C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic on Windows XP), please post it via drop.io.

'Doh! I usually check for them, but I didn't that time. But, it's pretty easy to reproduce, so I'll get one up here soon.

 EDIT: 'Doh #2. I didnt read my original post thoroughly (like someone else :P ). It doesn't generate a zip file. It just freezes, then windows kills it.

Ok, I'm messing with this a little more now, and it seems to happen when I load up one effect, then load another, then load the first effect again. I do this alot when I'm working on an effect, I like to load other effects to get an idea of what was done, then go back to editing my effect.

EDIT: Also, I selected new effect, then deleted the emitters that were there, and on the last one, it froze. It seems it didn't like not having any emiters/beams in it.
