QE Crash; Fall dmg on map load

The other night I was playing through Questionable Ethics and I got to the point where you burn a hole through the wall with the big laser. Upon going through the hole, the only way down is a steep drop down a pipe. It’s very easy to take fall damage if you’re not careful going down this pipe, which isn’t an issue on it’s own, it’s just part of the game.

The problem I discovered is, upon taking fall damage, there is a chance you take that fall damage just as the map load transition is triggered. This caused the game to freeze up on that loading screen for about a minute before crashing to desktop. I’m not sure how easily this can be repeated because I don’t know how close the timing of the map load and fall damage have to be.
