3ds Max 2015 crash in SME.gup

Hi,

I'm creating a 3ds Max 2015 plugin. 3ds Max crashes randomly. The call stacks don't include my code...

I guess that SME is Slate Material Editor (I'm doing a lot of work in there). What's a GUP file? Is this problem something that I can debug and fix?

I tried downloading and starting the debug build of 3ds Max, but just hit so many Max error messages that I quickly gave up.

I'm basically looking for advice on how I can take this problem further. The crashes themselves happen at random times and may be after 20 minutes or 3-4 hours usage. Thanks

3ds Max 2015 Service Pack 2 fixed this.

There is now an SP3 for Max 2015 (in case you missed it).
