I can recreate this crash. PLEASE FIX THIS.

My exact steps are as follows

1. switch to mixer brush.
2. check the box marked sample all layers
3. sample any part of the painting.
4. uncheck the box marked sample all layers.
5. paint with mixer brush.
6. add layer mask to the layer.
7. voila. photoshop crashes and permanently hangs. It wont give you the option of doing a crash report either.

are you using a Wacom? Sometimes when using the mixer, it doesn't register the end of the stroke when i've gone off the canvas and will hang up like until i find some way of ending the stroke... or force quit.
