CTD loading saved game (Beta 4A)

I just started a new game with Beta 4A. I saved the game at the beginning, then hit turn before I set up my taxes and spending sliders. I tried to reload the game, and Galciv crashed. Restarting Galciv and reloading the game results in CTD. Smart Exception report follows:

If you still have the save game, can you send it to me please?

I need both the .sav file that is in the SaveGame directory and the files in the corresponding folder.
