Captured several seconds after grabbing Ercal Kerman with the claw (Ercal EVA'd into the claw at an estimated 1.5m/s - 2m/s... you know, for giggles), the second the claw connected, the two Gigantor-XL solar panels on the far-side section of the station (originally placed atop the girders you can see either side above the fuel tanks there) just... disintegrated and floated off, leaving my space station with only 1 solar panel... Ercal managed to break the other in EVA... not the cleverest Kerbalnaut on my roster, but he didn't touch the other two, I swear!

Steps to reproduce:

1) Create a rather heavy space station (this one is ~60T, 2 craft connected by a clamp-o-tron docking port, unsure if the listed weight is just one craft or both.)
2) Put it in orbit.
3) Have a silly Kerbal throw himself at an armed claw.

Note: Unsure if it matters but the solar arrays were not part of the craft that contained the connecting claw, the two craft are connected via a standard docking port. There was another empty armed claw on the other craft.
