Both computers using US V3.0

It seems to happen in the password setting, first round.

The first round, you set passwords for each faction and save it at the begining of the first player's second turn. 1 save from creation to shipment. This is how I made the first 2, and both times the SE activated on the Gaian turn when loaded.

The 3rd time, I played an additional round, using "save and exit" at the end of each faction's turn. The bug did not show up.

Also on the first two, they were started as a hotseat, played aprox 40 turns, then played a set password round, saved and shipped. I never used the SE to create either one.

Some of the other players were included in the testing. they received a save file to testing, and no bug appeared in any of the "control group".

I also had 2 others load the possible corrupted file. 1 stated no problems, other stated opened fine, but got a blue screen while exiting. Second time, loaded find.
