SSS crash issue

SSS on the selected object (outer chair "shell") causes maxwell.exe crash after voxelization. SSS wizard, any roughness setting, etc. that i have tried... i thought it could be mesh issue, so i imported fresh obj into blank scene... no dice.
however, when you pull the object away from the others, it renders fine.
any ideas? (couldn't find a relative thread on this)... i have the pack n' go zipped and on server. pm me and i can provide link (~30mb). thanks!

so...it´s like I wrote you.imho
But I have to do a rendering with this.

I create a simple material which fakes a bit the sss in this case.(maybe if you need the rendering for some commercial stuff)
And here you can download your modified scene.

nice render - so what was the problem, ...intersecting meshes using sss?

Its right that when the object moved maxwell has no problems....but that's because there are some problems with the emitters and the sss when some other objects have influence of the calculation from the emitters with the sss object.So this is an emitter/sss issue.
10-4, thanks jurx

@sampson,3dtrialpractice:Sorry not to post that but rusteberg did it.
Yes, intersecting meshes using sss with emitter-lighting.The fake is just no sss but a milky dielectric.
