Version 3.0.1 Crashes on demand

All, I found a few patterns that that will crash S3D for me every time without fail. Here is one of them.

Bring the included STL onto the build platform, click Mesh -> Separate connected surfaces, Then click Repair -> Identify Non-Manifold Edges

BOOM! This reliably causes the program to crash. I found two other patterns using different parts, However, if this pattern gets fixed, it may fix the other patterns as well. I suspect the BUG is a common routine used by multiple tools.

I hope this example actually helps get some stability back in the program. I'm afraid to do anything while is it printing because it has crashed so many times..

Hey don, glad you posted that but it really needs to get sent to support. Why dont you send them an email and attach your file describing how you get the crash. Im sure it will help them

I have been in contact with support and the response is like this. "interesting, have you tried using the Microsoft Model repair site first?" I get that running every model through that site can help, but the point is that this software should not crash regardless of the problems various models may have.
