The problem is how much that solution really doesn't seem to work. In my case, I have to completely close/reopen it, and sometimes the random death thing still happens when I pick it from the menu after that.
When I was trying to capture that, I pretty much had to go back to it every now and then and see if it was glitching or not. The upside was, when I finally tried it and it didn't glitch, it wouldn't start glitching after I kept trying it a bunch of times in a row (like, after dying on it or somesuch).
