You mean why does it hang instead of crashing? Possibly because the memory was reallocated back to the program for something else and the attempt to free the splits is freeing whatever that is and that's resulting in a hang.
But why would a report create or delete splits or transactions? A report should be describing the book as it is, not changing it.
