After playing for quite a long time, longer than I've been able to play on .25 before, I saw a pop-up window saying "Out of memory" and the game crashed with the Windows "Turn based fantasy strategy game has stopped working" message. A dump file was created but was 0 bytes long.
I have 4G memory on my machine and an over 3G virtual memory page file.
I hit this again after playing for something more than 160 moves.
I just double checked - my virtual memory paging file size is set as minimum 3G and maximum 12G, but when the out of memory error occurs the page file size is still at 3G.
This is most likely due to 2gb virtual memory address limit of a standard 32bit program (max available memory address space for 32bit Os'es is 4gb which is split in 2gb/2gb for user/os). most likely indicates a memory leak. Might alleviate this problem on a 64 bit os by adding /largeadressaware flag to the game exe file (google for how to) this allows program to use full 4gb address space available to it (since, under 64bit os, os's address space is placed WAY beyond 4gb mark) but ... if its a memory leak it will only postpone the crash a bit.
I got this one when I had to save after 30 minutes of play ! 
(yeah, you read it well, no crash in 30 minutes ... When i had one every 2 or 3 minutes)
