Crash when linking to anchor in another Book chapter

[MikeTO]

This crash is repeatable but only with specific steps so I doubt users will encounter it too much in the real world.

1. Create a document. Draw a text frame and insert a text anchor. Save the document as 1.afpub. Close the document.
2. Create another document. Draw a text frame. Save the document as 2.afpub.
3. Create a Book. Add chapters 1 and 2 to the Book.
4. The cursor should still be in that text frame you drew in #2. Choose Insert Hyperlink and set Type to Anchor. Try to select chapter 1 from the list of chapters - it will crash when you change it from 2 to 1.

I've attached a crash report from the beta only because that's my working version. It's same version as Retail right now.
