False research completions with save/load of games

I was abusing the save/load game functions of the option menu when I got this. After
positioning a "flag ship" nest to an anomaly I saved the game. Then I explored the anomaly
and if I didn't get money (either 100bc or 1000bc) I loaded the game and explored the
anomaly again. More than once the anomaly I got was the research completion anomaly.
When I finally got some mony I had no other ships with moves left so I pressed the turn
button.

I should not have gotten the research completion event I got. I had been researching
transporters (I don't think the project being researched really matters), and the completion
GNN said I completed it. The research selection screen still had transporters in the list with
several months left to complete it.

I was going to check the saved game to see if I could recreate it that way, but all I get
out of it is a trap 5 when I try to go to the next turn. This is my biggest reason to suspect
that the problem has something to do with saving and restoring a game. I have send
the saved game to Cari under the title "trap 5 loading a saved game".

Cheers,
Jack
