    Hello!

    FogBugz case number 619144.

    I'm having issues with saving scenes in Unity. Unfortunately, this crash does not happen 100% of the time, more like less than 5% of the time. I'm not sure, but it seems to be related to:
    http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-4-5-1-crashes-when-opening-scene-or-script.256003/

    Crash report from OSX is below. If you need anything further I'll be happy to help.

    EDIT: Additional case numbers: 619145, 619146, 619147, 619149. Sometimes, when the Unity "Report a Bug" window appears, Unity will not close and the OSX crash reporter does not appear. In these cases the OSX crash reporter does not appear and I have no crash report to pass on.

    Okay, I think I finally got some reproduction steps!
    1. Create a new scene.
    2. Save this scene.
    3. While that scene is still open, delete the scene from the Project window.
    4. Hit Command-N to create a new scene.
    5. Save the new scene.
    6. Crash.
    I've done this 4 times in a row on OSX with crashes each time. I also tried with Unity 4.3.4 on this computer and Unity became unresponsive. I also tried in on a Windows 8.1 machine with Unity 4.5.1 and it did not crash. I also tried on a different OSX computer with Unity 4.3.4 and there was no crash.

    Have you attached these repro steps to one (or all) of your bug reports?

    Short Version: Yes, I included repro steps that only work on my computer. ='/ I lack knowledge to help more.

    I wish I knew why these specific steps crash my Unity, while not crashing on other computers. Other coworkers do mention Unity crashing, but all I can really verify is that these specific steps do not crash other Unity's 100% of the time.
