Description

I have a ship with lots of projections (mini satellites to be launched). It is in need of fuel so I took a refueling ship up and clamped it. Transfer works well, but towards the end it suddenly starts wobbling and then explodes. This is repeatable. Complete reproduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHfxQ906KPU.

I've included relevant logs and a save-game I think can be used to reproduce. Only mod used is Kerbal Alarm Clock.

I posted a bug report for this ages ago...their response was then "dont do it."

The following video is from that bug report

Its related to autostruts in someway. and it isnt about transferring fuel either. If the tank was simply empty it did the same thing.
