Access Violation During Turn Processing

[Renegade 13]

I'm playing a 200 system TDM game against 7 AI's, difficulty/bonus at high. Don't know if that makes a difference with regards to this access violation, but thought I'd put the info in there regardless.

Anyways, about 100 turns in, during the turn processing for the Tessellate, up pops the little window saying "Access violation at address [8 random numbers/letters] in module 'se4.exe'. Read of address [seemingly random series of 8 numbers/letters].

Since I save the game at the end of every turn (luckily!) I simply reloaded to that savegame, processed the turn again and everything worked just fine. Then it occurred again, different series of numbers/letters, about 20 turns later, this time with (I think) the United Flora. Again loaded to that turn, processed, and everything worked. However, both times this happened I had to Alt-Ctrl-Del and kill the SE4 process, then restart.

This isn't a major issue by any means, but it is rather annoying when turn processing is taking ~4 minutes per turn, losing all that processing time. I doubt there is anything that can be done about it, but if someone could give some insight as to the cause, it would be great.

Thanks in advance!!
