Using Cheat to confirm, I was able to hang it up after attempting finish of 5th level on "twins"
I chose the "Finish this Eound with 1 Pair NOW!" cheat.

I've done some testing with these results:

 - The bug ALWAYS ocurrs in twins
 - The bug NEVER ocurrs in twinsed1
 - The bug ALWAYS ocurrs in twinsed2

The crash happens when entering AREA 2 (after having finished 4 levels).
I didn't use cheats in my gameplays.

Considering the tester (chaneman) has claimed this is a random issue, I will do more testing to check if my first results and definitive.

No bugs in twinsed1. I've played this several times and I can confirm there's no bug in this version of the game.

Full gameplay untill reaching Stage 2 with no problems.

After several gameplays of all the 3 versions of the game I can confirm the bug only affects twins and twinsed2.
The reproducibility of the bug is not random. It always happen in the mentioned affected roms.

Changed reproducibility and affected roms in the main report.

The bug in twins has been there since the rom was added in mame 0.203. No regression version for that one.
Tested on several versions with twinsed2 (twinsa before mame 0.203). Tested on 0.196, 0.161, 159...
I ended up testing it in mame 0.110u5, when the clone was added and the bug is also there. No regression version then.

As a curiosity, the game has "mortadelo y filemon II (Clever and Smart II)" music from the amstrad cpc version in level 2. That was kinda nostalgic for me :)
