Osnaps and overlapping surfaces causes civil 3d to freeze/crash

Well after some basic investigation I have found the problem.

Overlapping surfaces that both have contours displayed will cause freezing when osnaps is turned on.

Download the example file here – onsnaps-freeze1,  see image below for explanation. Try and draw a polyline over the top of the overlapping area with onsnaps turned on

I can confirm that this happens in both Civil 3D 2014 and 2015. With 2015 recovering slighltly faster than 2014. say 3-5 minutes instead of 10 – 15minutes
