[crash]Elemental crashes while stacked army is exploring

from Elemental Forums

Description:

High turn count, approx. 475 turns.  Stacked army of 2 warden units, sovereign and hero(?) unit, moving causes a system crash.  To reproduce using the save file: Acknowledge notification of another sovereign's loss, explore the ruins adjacent to the army stack, move to end turn and expose the quest destination. Head towards revealed quest area from just explored ruins.  System crashes.

Also worth noting, when I turn AA on (2x, 4x, or 8x), the map turns white and I can't see anything unless I scroll all the way out to cloth map view. No debug log attached for that issue.

Hardware/OS:

12GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5870 w/ 7/26/2010 Catalyst drivers, Pioneer Elite plasma connected through HDMI,  i7 920 OC @3.2ghz, 80GB Intel SSD, Win 7 64-bit Professional (not too shabby for a gaming rig right? O:) ).

If there was a dump zip created in C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic on Windows XP), please post that too.

I've linked crash dumps in an above post.  They were back to back crashes.  Very high turn count.  Probably the out of memory issue (even with 12gb of ram plus a 4gb page file).  Downloaded 1.6 + hotfix today.  Clean install, all previous game data erased.  Fresh 10.8 ATI drivers.  Will keep updated and posting logs to this thread as they occur.
