Comment 2 for bug 368127

I think you may have nailed the problem exactly. I turn on the "save after x turns" feature because I am paranoid. Perhaps the crashing wasn't as random as I thought, but was occurring after I had played a little and tried to save. I was assuming that the save file that was produced was corrupt because it would crash my game 100% of the time if I tried to load it again. I ended up regressing my copy to the version packaged with Intrepid, which works just fine for me (for the time being). I can not use the version rolled into Jaunty for exactly the reason stated above.
