DTS crash recovers in debugger, crashes if run normally (resolved)

What do you make of this?

T3D 1.2 MIT loading DTS model. Release build.

If run from a normal shortcut, program crashes.

If run from inside a debugger (olly debug), passing exception to program recovers fine. Log indicates a heap issue, perhaps an overrun? I'm guessing C000 bytes allocated, but it overshot.

Could this be some sort of hardcoded limit for materials?

This gives me an idea. Textures are Windows .BMP format. I'll try PNG conversion to see if it's something BMP specific.

Here's the log from debugger:

Converted to PNG and it loads up fine.

I'll take a look at the BMP texture. Maybe malformed, corrupted or has some feature that T3D doesn't like.

...

EDIT: Nothing unusual with the file that I can see.

Try running it trough Purify (they got an evaluation version that can give you hints at where the heap corruption is happening). That's what I do when it's not obvious where the corruption happens.
