[BUG] : Option Menu problem

A bug that I ran across. If you need clarifcation of any of the following steps please feel free to ask.
Step-by-Step
1. Open up the shipyard screen.
2. Press esc key to bring up the options menu.
3. Press the Retire button, which will bring up the end game summary.
4. Press the done button on the end game summary. You should now be at the main menu of the game.
5. Select a new game, which will bring you to the Galaxy Setup screen.
6. When you press the next button something strange happens. Instead of having the Pick your Civilization show up, a screen that looks like the in-game interface will be displayed.
This is what I mean by the in-game interface. In-game interface Except that the main area where the planets and stars should appear is blank.
At this point (with the not so kosher in-game interface displayed), any button that is pressed other then the menu button (top left corner) the game will crash. Debug info: Unhandled exception at 0x00480f4d in GalCiv2.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000504.
This bug will occur if have either the Domestic Policy, Foreign Policy, Civilization Manger, or the Ship Yard screen open. If you follow steps 2-6 with any of the above mentioned screens open then bug results should be the same.
Also, I believe that you can produce the issue by replacing the "Press the Retire button " in step 3 with "Press the Main Menu button". However, I saw that there were different results some of the time when you Selected a new game (step 5).
