You're using symmetry with the part-clipping option turned on. It can cause bad things to happen, such as the over-clip part count explosion you see there. Also, symmetry within symmetry can be rather buggy (especially if you have part-clipping enabled). And oh yes, it's exceptionally bad if you ever use "undo" while any of this is going on.

The only real way to combat this is to turn on part clipping only when you must use it, then turn it back off. Also, I recommend saving your craft in a series of versions. You can see the part count in the load screen so that will show you when the craft has become corrupt (when you see a huge jump in the number of parts).

Also, be extra careful any time you're dealing with symmetry in symmetry (or what I call recursive symmetry). I build with it all the time, but you have to watch what's going on.

Cheers,
