Savegame compatability was broken by the addition of the worker several 
weeks ago.  It was "fixed" with the patch from a day or two ago. 
However this means savegames from the interim period are incompatible. 
If you have such a savedgame just use an older snapshot to finish it. 
1.14.1 and earlier savegames are still compatible with current CVS 
(which wasn't true 1 week ago).
