Crash on load prop to blank scene when viewport=Iray

FirePro9

DAZ crashes when I do this:
1. Open DAZ & set viewport to Iray.
2. Add FullArch.pp2 to blank scene (from The Bridge Collection).
3. DAZ crashes.

If I load FullArch.pp2 with viewport first set to something other than Iray then switch back to Iray no crash.  Also, if scene not empty, no crash. Also, usually no crash if open a different scene first, clear it, then load FullArch.pp2.

I noticed similar behavior with some other props, but was able to repeatedly reproduce this problem with the FullArch.pp2 prop.

I've tried current and past nVidia drivers, same problem.

I've submitted a help desk ticket.

Just curious if others are noticing this problem, i.e., DAZ crashes when loading objects to blank scene when viewport set to iRay?

I never set the viewport to iray... 
but props and objects.. oh my.. I make a lot of my own and the other night it was crashing right and left. 
and yet today with a lot of the same files not crashing 
but taking eons to save stuff.

I was crashing when duplicating objects or grouping them.

I think daz finds them objectionable?
