It's weird because it happens 100% of the time. I don't even get to place it. Just when it's in "ghost form" floating around with the mouse cursor, if I happen to touch another object (without clicking to try placing it) like another space belt or anything really, the game will just crash.
As it is, the game itself has already submitted two bug reports through the crash catcher (yesterday) but figured I'd come submit here too for good measure 🙂
