Client Crash While Bidding on Auctions

Anybody ever have the client crash when bidding on items on the AH? This crash happens with no discernable cause -- the only time is seems to happen is when I've bid on many (think 50+) items. I'll click on an item, then ~CRASH~ to desktop. Logging back in, everything is fine. Until I click on the Auctioneer NPC -- then the same crash happens. This problem will "self-correct" after an undetermined amount of time (say ~30min). In which case, I can resume bidding on items on the AH until the error happens again.

I am also getting this, if I bid on several, as in 10-20 auctions, then my wow client crashes. What gives ? It's almost as if something is running out of memory, so when bidding on a auction, it takes up a bit of memory, and then the server maybe refuses to allocate more, so it causes the client to crash ?

Same problem here!
My client crashes when I open AH. (I think I have about 20-30 bids open) Probably has to do with the big amount of auctions we bid on.

Greetings,

this problem can be avoided by not having excessive number of bids open simultaneously. If you do cross the threshold, avoid using the AH until you're either outbid or win an item.
