Anyone else experienced this?

Gale was begging for a fix, so I (host) ran over to talk to the magic addict, and the moment dialogue started, my friend crashed out of the game. Eavesdrop was enabled, and they were at camp.

I wouldn't be posting this if it was a one-off, but a couple of sleeps later, and the second time Gale asked, the same thing happened, my friend crashed out.

Kinda wondering if it has to do with checking to see if the non-host players have magic items in their inventories for that dialogue option "I have what you need" or w/e.
