Desync with large inventories?

We were playing with 5 players (bas (Mac OS; host), Quis (linux), Edea (windows), awesterb (Mac OS) and Wassasin (linux)) and got to a point where the game desynced continuously. We managed to get a save file just prior to a crash. If Wassasin (maybe even anyone at all..) picks up the chest he is standing near the game desyncs.

We're guessing it is related to inventory changes (even selecting an item) and the difference between Mac OS and Linux. (We had a similar desync fridaynight with only Bas and me (Mac vs Linux) but we couldn't get to a reliable theory except for it being something with large stacks).

Ok, I checked the save, and the problem probably is, that there are 2 damaged walls in the chest (problem that is solved for the next 0.11.4 release).

Actually, your save helped me (when running in our super heavy mode), to find another 2 desync problems related to pathfinding, so thank you a lot for helping making the release more stable :)
