Description

The engine crashes when building lighting if World Settings >> Precomputed Visibility >> Visibility Aggressiveness is set to "VIS Max."
A Fatal Error message sometimes appears (screen shot attached) before the editor closes.
This occurs in 4.18. I tested in 4.17 but "VIS Max" is not a selectable option in 4.17 and selecting the other settings (least/moderately/most aggressive) and then building the lighting does not result in a crash.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open new default level
  2. In World Settings, change Precomputed Visibility Aggressiveness to "VIS Max."
  3. Build Lighting
    Result: Editor Crash
