(All you need to do is buy the Super Highways in Passau and press Turn Done.)

This problem seems related to the worklist code.  If you examine the save
file, you'll see (to the best of my understanding of worklists)
unreasonable values for some worklist entries.  For example, the very first
worklist item id (worklist0) for the city of Passau is 12324.  I belive
this indicates that the worklist is corrupt.  There are several other
instances of this (e.g., Salzburg has an 8220 in worklist12 -- this is
illegal, also, I believe).

So, the "bug" has happened long before this save file was made.

I'll keep hunting for this, but I'm wondering if anyone may have further
insights.
