Short description of error
If I navigate away from Blender for a period of time that's circa in excess of thirty minutes the programme crashes upon my return.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
1). Do something in Blender and save it - or don't save it... that doesn't seem to have any bearing on the issue.
2). Leave Blender open but navigate away to perform some other task for a while (checking email/working on something in Photoshop etc).
3). Navigate back to Blender after 30+ minutes or thereabouts.
4). Blender will usually then crash/quit as soon as I attempt to do something, like choosing a tool or grabbing and moving an object.
