Using a relatively small redstone contraption the world crashes unexpectedly after use in quick succession. After reloading the world and updating the first block crashes it again without repeated use.

What I expected to happen was...:
There should have been multiple pistons moving up then down in a strait line with little or no lag.

What actually happened was
Minecraft crashed and continues to do so with relative ease.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build the contraption shown.
2. click the lever by the input around 5 times in quick succession.
