Using FObjectFinder outside of the constructor causes crash

If FObjectFinder is used in a function other than the constructor, which should not be done, it causes a crash.

1. Create a new project, C++ based off the Third Person template
2. Create a new C++ class
3. In the .cpp file, below Super::BeginPlay(); (line 18) enter the following code:
static ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UStaticMesh> GameObjectLookupDataTable_BP(TEXT("DataTable'/Game/ThirdPerson/GameObjectLookupTable.GameObjectLookupTable'"));
4. Compile the project (ctrl+shift+b)
5. Return to the editor and create a new blueprint based off your C++ class
6. Place an instance of the new blueprint in the scene
7. Hit play
8. Notice that the editor locks up and crashes
