Just an update - the crash actually happens whenever all the edges are added to ANY MSelectionList, not just the global selection.
Ie, this will crash: import maya.cmds as cmds import maya.OpenMaya as om polyCube = cmds.polyCube()[0] subd = cmds.polyToSubdiv(polyCube)[0] selList = om.MSelectionList() selList.add(subd + '.sme[*][*]') Also, I figured out why refresh would solve the crash sometimes, and not other times - depends on whether I'm testing in a full gui or not.
