I made a mission using few retextured OTT ships (Aegis, Gaia and Chiron), retabled Chronos, retextured Trashman's Valkyrie MK2 and Scooby Doo's Foxbat, all of them working in lab and  individual tests. This mission however, crashes both in regular and debug builds, after loading Corvette.pof (Aegis).
There is no error message in debug build, just standard error report message.
The log ends with this:

Allocating space for at least 25 new ship subsystems ...  a total of 400 is now available (203 in-use).
I'm using latest 3.6.11 Inferno build with SSE (5615).
Strangely, at first, only debug build crashed, the regular had no problems unless I modified mission specs, so I'm posting first lines of a mission, just in case.

#Command Briefing
FRED debugger doesn't report any problems with this mission.
Does anyone know what can cause such behaviour?

[The E]

Now, unless someone else has a brilliant idea, I would recommend getting Visual Studio 2008 Express from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/aa336402.aspx

Then use the instructions in this thread to get a copy of the source code. Open the VS 2008 project, use the configuration selector to select "Debug", and build your own debug build. Copy that to your FS2 folder (without changing the name of the build), select it in the Launcher, and let it crash. Windows should then give you the option to debug it. At that stage, consult #scp for online help.

[Aardwolf]

I see you modified the wing names, was that intentional? Do the wing names in your mission match?

[Dragon]

Yes, as I said, FRED doesn't report any issues with the mission.
There is no "Beta B" wing in this mission, but I would be suprised if that was the cause.
