I already emailed the Smart Exception log in along with my last saved game and the debug.err but I figured I'd post it here too.....

It happened in between turns and one of the last things it did was abort a path that was too long to calculate....

Wheeeee.....actually, this crash happened twice. It happened once and I restarted the game from the last autosave and it went past the turn where it crashed (I was trying to reproduce the crash). I emailed that crash info in.

THEN, it happened again. This time I was able to save the debug.err and sent along my last quicksave. Fun fun fun....
