It looks like it may be project file specific.

Another project came up where I had to kick out some graphics and realized after I did, that that project used shine in it and it didn't crash. Testing it, I applied shine to a layer and it worked fine. Immediately, I opened up the original project and it didn't crash! Was able to to re-render what I needed and saved it.

The next day I had to do another adjustment, and the crash started all over again with the original project. I then made a brand new project file, applied shine successfully, closed it, opened up the problematic file and it was working again.

Seems to be a workaround, but I have no idea what is causing it (especially since it had no issues before this suddenly reared its head).

The only thing I can think of that is different with the problematic project file is that it is an import-re-save of an 11 year old project file. Maybe there is some legacy nonsense that corrupts the shine cache over time? Maybe it's something unrelated, I don't know. All very odd.
