Inf in "Relative Time" formatted constant crashes LabVIEW

Stumbled on interesting crash behavior in LV2012: I have a DBL constant on the BD of a VI that is used to represent a timeout constant, so I set the Display Format to "Relative Time". Originally, it was set to 90:00 (ninety minutes), but for testing purposes, I tried changing it to "Inf" (no timeout). It immediately crashed LV.

 

Tried again in a new VI. Just add a DBL constant, set the format to relative time, then try to set the value to Inf. It crashes consistently.

 

I can probably work around it, but it's worth noting (and opening a CAR?). Can anyone confirm this behavior?

...I should add: if I start with "Inf"--that is, if I use default numeric formatting and set the DBL constant to "Inf", and then change the display format to relative time--it does not crash LV2012.

I can confirm that it does the same thing on my Mac version.  LV 2011 does not crash.

I can confirm that for LV2012 on Win XP.

 

I sent a crash report as well and its report # is e7107636-902a-4bad-9521-e0f06f9f847d

Note:  A control or indicator formatted to relative time also causes a crash.
