[0.803][Freeze] game freezes when trying to select tech

Title pretty much says it all.  I end the turn > new tech screen comes up > i pick the one i want to unlock > then hit continue, and that's where the freeze happens.

Since it seems to be consistantly reproducible, here's a save to take the freeze for a test drive.  Enjoy:P

(don't ask why i dumped it in an images folder, just lazy i guess:P)

i would have provided a dump file as well, but none seems to being created over this freeze.
