I have saved my game (single player) and immediately pressed the "Quit game" button. The game did not leave the in-game menu ("Resume / Restart / Load game...") and completely freezed. Could not be killed using the STOP button in Steam. Could not be killed using "killall factorio". Finally killed it using "killall -9 factorio". When I restarted the game, the savegame (saved right before the freeze) could be loaded and played without problems. I have the savegame archived if it helps. I am not entirely sure if the "Quit game" button registered my click or if the game froze directly after saving, before I clicked the "Quit game" button.
I cannot replicate the bug.
I had plenty of memory and no other applications were running on my laptop except Steam and Factorio. I have almost 500 hours of gameplay in the Steam version of Factorio on Linux (Xubuntu) and never have experienced a crash until this happened.

Once you can, post save, log and steps to do so.
