More Button crashes

All,
Yesterday I posted an intermittent problem I was having related to Button use. I have now found another Button problem that is repeatable. I was not looking for it; it found me.
<<<--- Warning --->>>
This example can crash your kernel or front end. If you run this code, save all your work, exit all kernels and front ends and start a new, isolated front end and kernel.
I have tested this on two different machines and operating systems, OSX and Windows.
Evaluating the PutUpDialog[] function on its own has the expected behavior. Evaluating the same function as a result of pushing the button, however, has ugly results.
--- snip ---
PutUpDialog[] := Module[{ret},
ret = DialogInput[{Row[{DefaultButton[DialogReturn[True]],
CancelButton[DialogReturn[False]]}]}]; If[ret, "Hi", "Bye"]]
PutUpDialog[]
Button["Dialog Box", PutUpDialog[]]
