Crash, possibly caused by too many Darwinia Men

[Slayer]

I was using the Squad/Engineer exploit to stress-test the game with large numbers of Darwina men. I had several hundred men, who had destroyed without the aid of squads all enemies on the Refinery Island, and I had sent them over to the second island.

Once they were all over, I sent them on a suicide march to the other end of the island. (Suicide because, as far as I know, spiders cannot be destroyed without the use of explosives.) I checked the research table to see I had almost got the Darwinia men upgraded to maximum level, and then exited the Task Manager. A spider came to them and pounced on the middle of the marching ranks. About a second afterwards, the game crashed.
