CTD - weird ship number

from Stardock Forums
A Dregin ship appeared on start of new turn. It had the number 876 below it. Dregins were on verge of defeat so a convoy with 876 ships seemed weird. 1 click on ship: CTD. I marked the debug file with my initials before the click. I'll post a picture of ship on binary newsgroup.

After my 2nd restore, I attacked (not clicked) this convoy with a Dreadnought. Destroyed 3 of these ships. When AI got their turn, the 873 remaining ships started attacking my Dreadnought. It's taken about 15 minutes for 150 ships to attack. Dreadnought HP down 50, now lvl 4. Everything running slow motion.

This all started the turn after the Dregins discovered the Percursor ship, corvette.

1/2 hour and 200 ships later, my Dreadnough lvl 5. On the ship window, exp 1458 and level: 'string not found'.

I'm betting the crash was an overflow of the stacked ship list....it probably can't handle 876 ships. :) It would also explain the long time...athough I can't guess where the 876 ships came from if the Drengin were indeed close to defeat. I know that Brad has the AI purchasing ships now, so maybe they bankrupted themselves to do it...the humans can't purchase stuff once they go into debt, but maybe the AI can...I'll check it out.

I turned off show battles, ect and the whole battle was over in 45 minutes. I check debug and it had 800 lines of precursor corvettes destroyed. The turn before, the dregins found precursors. They got 876 ships! I lost 1 Dreadnought in the battle.
