When using the /give command to give yourself a monster spawner, the game will crash. I have tested this in Minecraft 1.4.7 and Snapshot 13w01b, and the crash does not occur. I was giving myself a spawner to test hints given on Dinnerbone's twitter.

While I could not always reproduce this, these two occurrences both were possible in the same world.
Based on a crash report provided in this issue, I believe with high certainty that this report may be a duplicate of MC-6744. If I am wrong, please go yell at Dinnerbone.

I would not have had a way to know that that bug was related to this bug without going into the crash log in detail. As far as my experience, it occurred due to picking up the Monster Spawner item. The bug I am apparently duplicating pertains to fire in an item frame. I could not have made such a connection. Are you sure that this is a duplication of that bug? I can understand if they both pertain to the same code, but the only consistency I am seeing at the moment is the /give comment. Similarly, Monster Spawners are ID 52 and Fire is apparently 51. Could someone specify the relation between these two bugs?
Edit: I gave myself fire and was met with a similar crash to what I was experiencing from Monster Spawners. While I can not draw the connection, I assume they are. I suppose they will be collectively fixed, then. I will return if this fails to be corrected.
