Error: GALCIV2 - 0x5573f6

I've reported this through SmartException, so I don't know if I'm supposed to do it here, too. But, maybe it'll help others. Anyway, with 1.1 and the game I'm currently playing, the game dies within about 5 minutes of my restoring from my last save file. There doesn't seem to be an rhyme or reason for it. Here's the CRA file (sorry for the size):

You should send this info to [email protected], so it gets stored where the devs can find and fix it. Some or even many of them are on vacation now that 1.1 is done, so this thread may get buried and lost before they get to read it.

The source of this crash has been found, and fixed. Thank you.

I'd like to note that version 1.11.029 has made things much better. After getting the update, I cleared everything out and started a new game. I had no stability problems at all. Before this, I could usually play only for an hour or two before the game crashed. With the upgrade, I never had a problem. Good job. Thanks.
