Transcendence

I destroyed a Centaurian base which was surrounded by asteroids. It shot out its remains in all directions, and a couple of bits hit asteroids. And then the asteroids started spitting out little pieces of asteroids, which hit other asteroids...

Within the space of about two seconds there were dozens of nasty little rocks belting off each other and the game utterly ground to a halt.

Haha! I recall doing something like that intentionally when asteroid ejecta was introduced. It was very entertaining.

I just noticed this problem too. I accidentally fired a missile into an asteroid that was overlapped in another asteroid.

Had to CtrlAltDelete to get out of the game... said Transcendence was using 1.2 gigs of RAM.
