I have no idea.  The exception reports are utterly useless, you have to be in Maxis employ to actually read it.  Please tell us what EXACTLY you were doing before the game crashed.  Armed with this information, we might actually be able to help.

The most common cause of this kind of game shut down occurs when working with NAM Puzzle Pieces.  If you have a PP loaded on your cursor and move over or even touch a transportation enabled cell, the game goes into a positioning loop and runs out of stack space.

I have a million of those reports - it happened when I tried to put a zone over a locked tile.it may be a result of removing a plugin that was still needed.(you didn't remove all of a certain building before you removed it , etc...)
