Thanks again Stefan.

There might be more hidden bugs like this one that only show up in 32 bits. We'll keep an eye for anything odd.

Cheers!

Tulgas in Start:

I thought they start automatically once all the slots are filled...

So did I.

Fixed it.

Post Mortem

The game did not start because PHost crashed. PHost crashed because PMaster does not create the file grey.hst (ion storms and alliances), so PHost called an invalid function (fclose(NULL)). This bug went unnoticed until now because, until the last system update by the ISP, I was using the i386 (32-bit) version of PHost, which silently ignores this problem; the x64 version is less forgiving.

Added a workaround for now.
