Short description of error
Instances to Points node crashes Blender upon connecting it in any form to the Geometry output.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Add a Geometry Node Tree to any object
  2. Add a Geometry to Instance node between the Group Input and Group Output nodes
  3. Add a Instances to Points node between the Geometry to Instance node and the Group Output node. Upon doing so, Blender crashes

Note: the geometry that goes into the Instances to Geometry node has to have at least one instance, otherwise blender won't crash.
Edit: It seems the same happens with the Distribute Points on Faces node. I suspect Blender to struggle with points at the moment.
