Twilight of the Arnor 1.96 crashes

GalCiv2 has been very stable for me for a long time, but TA crashed twice on me the other day. The application just vanished without a trace leaving me at the desktop. The first time I just restarted the game and continued from the save file. It crashed again a number of turns later. It was a few days ago, so I unfortunately don't remember the details very clearly, but I think it happened after I had pressed end turn. I'm posting this in case it's something obvious. I'll update my graphics driver, install SmartException and try to priovide more details if it happens again.
