Crash when entering Chao World while mod is activated #3

Hmm, while enjoying this mod greatly (see issue #2), I noticed a tragic bug; whenever the mod is activated, there’s a substantial chance the game will crash when entering the Chao World—it seemed about to crash ⅓ to ⅕ of the time. I couldn’t tell any commonalities between the crash circumstances—it seemed to happen with every character, whether or not I was selecting an alternate character/costume at all, and whether or not I was entering from Stage Select or by finishing a level with the Chao Key. The crash did seem to happen once the loading for the Chao World was finished, and at the precise moment before the title card is supposed to start moving away. (Before deactivating the mod, I began looking intently at the title card’s swirl design whenever I entered the Chao World—if the swirl began to move away at the end of loading, I was safe, because whenever the game crashed here it would happen just before.) I’m running the game on a 32-bit Windows 7 machine, with a dual-core Pentium 4 CPU (3.40 GHz) and an NVidia GeForce GT 710 graphics card. I wouldn’t know where to begin debugging this problem, so let me know how I can help!

Well if you want to start debugging the problem, I would start with a debugger, such as Microsoft Visual Studio or WinDbg. Unfortunately I have been unable to recreate the problem.
