3d: crash to desktop at first turn

Got my first 3D crash.

Started a new game, populists all races average to smart in a tiny galax with good planets "everywhere".

Set my colonyship and hero to autopilots, the colonyship in a quadrant next to my start and the hero to a gas-class anomaly.

Set the system to build soil enhancement and a colony ship. Bought the ship with the option to pay the smallest amount possible upfront.

Since I have autoturn off, I hit the next button and BANG!!

The last lines in debg.err seems to be from the setup of the game:

Debug Message: Creating Galaxy
Debug Message: Set galaxy size.
Debug Message: Reading Star Names

However, I got this a bit earlier, during setup:

Debug Message: Scanning sprites.
Debug Message: Scanning Models.
ASSERT ERROR in file g:\projects\pear\source\model2d.cpp at line 2400.
Debug Message: Animation Small has 17 frames of animation, which does not divide evenly into 32 facings.
Debug Message: Scanning bitmaps.
Debug Message: Initializing Galaxy.



Since SmartException doesnt catch any crashes I have no more info than that. Will see if I can reproduce the error, but prolly not I suppose.
