Probably this is a problem with the system, if nobody ever
experienced the same. At least this would be my guess. Or
does Scid do something in the stage this crash is reported?

Here comes an interesting comment on "heavily annotated".
First of all the issue is solved insofar as the game in

not a FICS transmission with all the chatter, but:

(Just in case someone tries to fine a novelty in this
specific game... ;)
