Amazing planet capture glitch

from GalCiv2 Forums
Was trashing the drath and then managed to invade their homeworld, omg the entire map went blue as it had 60000+ influence points, and i was getting an income of 12000 bc from this planet even thought it had no economy upgrades at all.

Has anyone else bumped into this if not who too and how do i send this save game.

For me this a common glitch, it's happened in all my games to date.
As far as I can tell it's when I've taken over an enemy planet using the "information invasion" (spend 800bc to have some of their population fight for you).
If you win the fight it seems to leave the planet with a huge population (1.4 trillion in one game), which gives a massive amount of influence points (enough to cover the whole galaxy) and a huge income. After a few turns the excess population dies off as you don't have the food production to support them. Things then go back to normal.
However, during this period you can find enemy planets flipping to you. In my latest game I also found that my approval rating hit 1% during this time. This caused 5 of my colonies to revolt, split off and form the Terran Confederation. A bit of a strange reaction to me defeating the Drengin!
I have seen this reported elsewhere so hopefully it will be fixed in the upcoming patch.
