System Information
Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 (both result in crashes).
GTX580 1.5GB.
i7 3770k

Blender Version
Broken: 2.69.8
Worked: 2.68

Short description of error
Adding an object to the scene the first time works perfectly. Once the first object disappears, if you add another object with addObject(), the game engine crashes and blender exits to the desktop. Seems to of occurred after Sergey's changes to the depsgraph.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

add_object_crash.blend
Open the attached blend file
Play the game engine
Left click to add a cube
Wait for the cube to disappear (100 tics)
Clicking again to add another object will result in the crash.

This seems like it's the other issue that caused trouble in one of my projects (the one that I tested in builds done beyond mid-December).

I will ask Campbell, Sergey ect... this though, are the issues caused by things such as the Multi-threaded depsgraph in the BGE going to be fixed or should the BGE team just go ahead and fork Blender with emphasis on game creation (maybe from a build before the depsgraph changes)?

Because if there's no plans to fix what gets broken in the BGE from general development, then the case of a full-blown fork can become very strong. I suggested this before and got answers saying it's not the time to consider it, but perhaps that time is coming.

There is no equivalent dependency graph in the game engine, that's not relevant there. Anyway, the problem is that if no one has time to fix issues in the game engine, they also don't have time to fork it which is even more work.

This looks like a duplicate of #38237. If that's the case, then this crash is caused by revision 6a4733, which (I think) was committed around the same time as the multi-threaded depsgraph changes.

This bug seems to be resolved after commit 51c32ac199.
