That is not normal SH-3 . Something is broke.

I've played quite a bit since then, and the game has played flawlessly. I did a nice long 4 hour session on Friday and it ran without a single hiccup.
I don't know why it crashed that time. My computer is about 6 years old. I'm going to up the RAM and I'm working on a couple of video card issues.
