To reproduce the bug, try importing a character twice. To get another similar
crash in the loading screen before the game starts, import only one character
and try to start the game.

Some interesting comparison to other games that use Infinity Engine:
* BG does not have the bug (has older engine version)
* BG2 has the same bug (and probably the same engine version)
* IWD2 has almost same bug (has newer engine version), see bug 14267. Importing
many characters doesn't crash, but starting the game with them crashes just as
here.

Workaround: do not import characters. The games actually work reasonably well.
(Of course, there are some other bugs that cause random crashes for unknown
reasons.)

And no, I'm not going to do any regression testing here, as there's no evidence
that this would be a regression. ;)
