**System Information**
Win7/64, AMD HD 6850
**Blender Version**
Broken:
- til 2.58: no crash but also no render result (maybe version too old)
- crash since 2.63 (r45996), including 2.70-1b523b5-win64
**Short description of error**
After narrowing the problem down (more and more and more...) from a big project to the simple scene attached, there's a random crash when starting rendering.
**Exact steps for others to reproduce the error**
# Open the attached file: Layer one contains a group instance, layer 2 contains the group definition.
# Go to layer 1 and render. Usually it crashes the first time. If not, render again until it crashes.
This is a very unspecific problem because it can be "solved" by //any of// the following actions:
- Switch to Cycles
- Clear Scale of the group instance (in layer 1), i.e. from 0.1 to 1.0
- With the array modifier attached to the object in layer 2, reduce the count from 72 to 20 or less.
- On layer 2, add the empty to the same group as the other object.
