 icon EP script crash that prevents progress (+1)  
I've been testing EP on macOS (currently 14.7.1) and one late game level has a script that always crashes the game under specific circumstances.
MAJOR SPOILER BELOW:

This is occurring in 5.1.1.624, the latest beta build, and it doesn't log anything in the error log.

No crashes occur for me in the attached hold, but the script there is pretty simple, so it seems there are some complexities in the DKH scripting to take into account.

I thought wrong, it turns out. In hindsight it couldn't have actually been the cause, I think. Troublesome.

I used my "wizard powers" to look at the problem script, and it turns out it also removes overhead images in some places. This is the problem.

So technically I was right, but for the wrong reasons. yay.
