Are you sure you did not open and re-save it in an > editor or something like that? I did not. Any munging was accomplished by Freeciv. Could be as simple as a string pointer error somewhere, given that the bizarre character is at the end of the string. I don't know if it's related, but Freeciv GTK consistently fails on Vista after the game has been going a long time. The GUI windows change colors and become illegible like they're being bitblitted incorrectly, then civclient freezes. For this reason I always play with "set saveturns 1". After such a failure, I can always load the most recent autosaved game. I haven't submitted the bug because I don't have a deterministic reproducer for it. I just know that it will happen after several hours of play. I guess my point is, Freeciv can munge things. _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
