Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a project
2. Create a Particle System
3. Select the Particle System in Hierarchy
4. Check Prewarm in Particle System component (In Inspector)
5. Set Start Lifetime to 8 in Particle System component (In Inspector)
6. Set Start Speed to Random Between Two Constants(0 and 5) in Particle System component (In Inspector)
7. Set Rate over Time to 100 in Particle System component (In Inspector)
8. Build and Run (non-development build)
9. Observe the crash

or

1. Open the attached project (HallDust.zip)
2. Open the Assets/test.unity scene
3. Build and Run (non-development build)
4. Observe the crash

Expected result: Build should not crash
Actual result: Build crashes

Workaround:
Set Rate over Time to 101(or any other) in Particle System component (In Inspector)

    I have a similar issue with my particle systems. Although it does not occur on Android builds, it seems to occur on Windows builds. Here is a project that I think can reproduce it: https://github.com/JacksonTech/FurryOctoPancake

    However, it also crashed with a development build for me. Removing the four particle systems allowed it to run.

    I reported this (or at least something highly similar) some weeks ago and it got confirmed: https://fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?862158_307db51k4tq164o5

    I would be really interested in a fix. Applying the workaround to every possible occasion in my game isn't possible. I just encountered a new particle/prewarm based crash to desktop during the beta test that wasn't there before 5.5.0xf3 - that shouldn't happen.
