I got into the habit of doing that too...but, perhaps this points to a more fundamental problem that may be worth fixing? It's just that it has happened to me every time independent of the size or content of my "mod" (which usually is anywhere from 1 to 3 files for bug testing)...
I tried loading no files...crash...
Tried loading all the game files left completely unchanged...crash...
Works fine though after restart or by changing the txt file...
