Project crashes when auto save completes after copy/pasting emitters multiple times in a system

Project crashes when auto save completes after copy/pasting emitters multiple times in a system

Description

Project crashes when auto save completes after copy/pasting emitters multiple times in a system

Encountered same crash testing Blend_Attributes_System and ExpressionsExample_System. Doesn't seem to occur with every system, but the repro might not be exactly what is causing the crash. 

Seen in //UE4/Release-4.20

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open ContentExamples
  2. Open the Editor Preferences and set the Auto Save time to 1 minute
  3. Open ExpressionsExample_System
  4. Copy and paste the emitter(s) in the sequencer track multiple times (I did around ~15+)
    1. Do this close enough to the auto save time so that the system is compiling when the auto save kicks in
  5. Change focus to another application
  6. Wait for the autosave and compile to finish
  7. Click onto the editor

Result: Project crashes. I saw that my editor appeared to be functioning (niagara sequence was still updating
