Heating isn't in the game - but Aerobraking in Eve's atmosphere still destroys craft

[JoeSchmuckatelli]

I managed to get my craft into an elongated orbit around Eve.  Set my PE at 82,000m thinking that it was both deep enough to aerobrake but high enough to survive.  This thought brought to you by the idea that heating wasn't in the game.

This thought was wrong.

In Map, watching the AP drop nicely - Pretentious Kerman popped up and my ship, rather than breaking up in some kind of interesting Kerbal fashion merely disappeared.

Fun?

Sounds like Eve's atmosphere is the resting place of a hungry kraken.

Seriously though, sounds like a bug.  Can you reproduce this?  Possibly record gameplay to show what is happening?

Yeah - but I got mad and shut down.  I'll reload a save and see if I can recreate it.
