I ran such a test in a debug build and caught the crash in the debugger and there is a programming mistake causing the crash. There isn't anything you are doing wrong and nothing can be done with input to fix it. I will file a bug report.

Those sorts of ancillary internal gains are pretty special. That zone name isn't needed for the normal operation of an air terminal as it will condition the zone by the passing air into it, not by internal gains. None of the regular air terminals have such modeling capabilities. The node connections and air distribution unit object already tell the program which zone the terminal is connected to.

As a work around, if you really need to model some special case of ancillary gains, you could use OtherEquipment and actuate the schedule to control the heat gains.
