Quartus 12 sp2 constant crashing

Quartus II v12 SP2 is constantly crashing on me and I get this error box, has anybody else had this issue? I have just checked and it happens if i update a symbol in a schematic and then try to compile again!

Internal Error: Sub-system: DBMUI, File: /quartus/db/dbmui/dbmui_manager.cpp, Line: 1152

Attempt made to free all hierarchy databases but the following callers are still accessing it: GEDQ_VIEW::get_sld_hdb_iname, GEDQ_VIEW::get_sld_hdb_iname

    I can confirm this. (Luckily there was never a loss of data due to this...)

    I agree that you should file a Service Request, however you may want to try and delete the 'db' directory in your project and recompile to see if it goes away. This sometimes helps with Internal Errors.

    I have deleted the 'db' directory in the project and it behaves! What is all that about?

    The 'db' directory is where the database files for the project are stored. Occasionally, a file in there may become corrupt and cause problems. It doesn't happen often, but it's always worth a try if you get an Internal Error.

    Thank you jimbo. Mine just crashed twice. Found this post, deleted db and voila! Need to add to my "how to fix" file.
